Lyrics
Chorus
Well a friend of mine told a friend of mine
In a confidential way
And that friend of his told a friend of his
And he told him not to say a word about it
Then that same friend’s friend told another friend
And the rumor spread about
And ev’ry one that told it told the other not to tell
That’s the way they let the secret out
Chorus
Well a friend of mine told a friend of mine
In a confidential way
And that friend of his told a friend of his
And he told him not to say a word about it
Then that same friend’s friend told another friend
And the rumor spread about
The preacher told the sexton and the sexton tolled the bell
That’s the way they let the secret out
