It's the unvarnished truth
The naked truth
Or may lightning strike me down
It's the honest truth
The sober truth
Or may lightning strike me down

It's the truth
The whole truth
And nothing but
Tell you what, here's a written guarantee
That it's the gospel truth
The straight out truth
Or may lightning strike that tree

It's the truth
The whole truth
And nothing but
Tell you what, here's a written guarantee
That it's the gospel truth
The straight out truth
Or may lightning strike that tree

I'm an honest fox
So don't think me any other
He's an honest fox
You can trust him like a brother
And that's the unvarnished truth
The naked truth
Or may lightning strike me down
It's the honest truth
The sober truth
Or may lightning strike me down

It's the truth
The whole truth
And nothing but
Tell you what, here's a written guarantee
That it's the gospel truth
The straight out truth
Or may lightning strike that tree

It's the truth
