Lyrics

[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/w/warrant-lyrics/uncle-tom_s-cabin-lyrics.html ] Oh yeah Just for the record let's get the story straight Me and Uncle Tom were fishing it was getting pretty late Out on a cypress limb above the wishin' well Where they say it got no bottom, say it take you down to hell

Over in the bushes and off to the right Come two men talkin' in the pale moon light Sheriff John Brady and Deputy Hedge Haulin' two limp bodies down to the water's edge

I know a secret down in Uncle Tom's cabin, oh yeah I know a secret that I just can't tell

They didn't see me and Tom in the trees Neither one believing what the other could see Tossed in the bodies, let 'em sink on down To the bottom of the well where they'd never be found

I know a secret down in Uncle Tom's cabin, oh yeah I know a secret that I just can't tell I know a secret down in Uncle Tom's cabin I know a secret that I just can't tell I know a secret down in Uncle Tom's cabin Know who put the bodies in the wishin' well

Soon as they were gone me and Tom got down Prayin' real hard that we wouldn't make a sound Runnin' through the woods back to Uncle Tom's shack Where the full moon shines through the roof tile cracks

Oh my God, Tom, who are we gonna tell? The Sheriff he belongs in a prison cell Keep your mouth shut that's what we're gonna do Unless you wanna wind up in the wishin' well too?

I know a secret down in Uncle Tom's cabin I know a secret that I just can't tell I know a secret down in Uncle Tom's cabin, oh yeah I know a secret that I just can't tell

I know a secret down in Uncle Tom's cabin Know who put the bodies Know who put the bodies in the wishin' well, oh yeah, ch ch ch cha

From the text of __Uncle Tom's Cabin__, Eva and Tom have a conversation about her passing away. Tom sings: "Oh, had I the wing of the morning, I’d fly away to canaan’s shore; bright angels should convey me home, To the new Jerusalem. “ I see band of spirits bright, that taste the glories there; They all are robed in spotless white. And conquering palms they bear.
