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
