Lyrics
B Forefather pointed to kingdom come F# Sadly told his only son A Just be careful what you do "Robbie lick" It all comes back on you
False witness spread the news Somebody's gonna lose Either she or me or you Nothing we can do
(Chorus)
A e Don't you say a word A e Or reveal a thing you've learned A g#m c#m Time will tell you well F#m a b If you truly, truly fell
Tarred and feathered, yea! Thistles and thorns One or the other He kindly warns
Now you look out the window tell me What do you see? I see a golden calf pointing Back at me
I been sitting in here for so darn long Waitin' for the end to come along Holy roaster on the brink Take a chance, swim or sink
False witness, cast an evil eye Said I cannot tell a lie Haints and saints don't bother me I'm not alone you see
(Chorus)
Haints: dialect word for haunts i.e. ghosts
