Just for the record let's get this 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 talking in the pale moonlight   Sheriff John Brady and Deputy Hedge   Haulin' two limp bodies down to the water's edge      I know a secret down at 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 at Uncle Tom's cabin, oh yeah   I know a secret that I just can't tell   I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin   I know a secret that I just can't tell   I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin   Know who put the bodies in the wishing well      Soon as they were gone me and Tom got down   Prayin' real hard that we wouldn't make a sound   Running through the woods back to Uncle Tom's shack   Where the full moon shines throught 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, oh      I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin   I know a secret that I just can't tell   I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin , oh yeah   I know a secret that I just can't tell   Oh, I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin   Know who put the bodies   Know who put the bodies in the wishing well      Oh yeah
