Uncle Tom's Cabin
Warrant · Extended Versions [2005]
Me and Uncle Tom were fishin' it was gettin'
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 two men
Talking in the pale moon light Sherriff John Brady
and Deputy Hedge haulin' two limp bodies down to
The Waters' Edge
I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin oh yea
I know a secret that I just can't tell
They didn't see me and Tom in the tree neither one
believen 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 yea
I know a secret that I just can't tell
I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin
I know who put the bodies in the wishing well
(Guitar Solo)
Soon as they were gone me and Tom got down
Prayin real hard that we wouldn't make a sound
Runnin throught the woods back to Uncle Tom's
Shack were the full moon shines through the roof
Top cracks
Oh my god Tom who are we going to tell the Sherriff
He belongs in a prison cell
Keep your mouth shut that's what were going to do
Unless you want to wind up in the wishing well too
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, know who put the bodies
In the wishin well
Uncle Tom's Cabin - Warrant
Warrant's 1992 hit "Uncle Tom's Cabin" stands as a defining track from their early career, blending hard rock energy with a melodic sensibility that would characterize their later work. Originally released on the album "Dog Eat Dog," the song showcases the band's ability to craft anthemic choruses that resonated with audiences across the United States. While the track gained significant traction in the mid-1990s, its enduring appeal lies in its powerful guitar riffs and driving rhythm section, which established Warrant as a prominent force in the alternative rock scene. The song remains a staple of their discography, often performed live and recognized for its ability to energize crowds without relying on complex production techniques. Its inclusion on subsequent compilations highlights its status as a key part of the band's catalog, reflecting the era's shift toward polished yet gritty rock soundscapes.
