Uncle Tom's Cabin (song)

"Uncle Tom's Cabin" is a song by American glam metal band Warrant.

It was released in April 1991 as the third single from Warrant's second album Cherry Pie.

According to frontman Jani Lane, the original working title for the song was "I Know a Secret".

Prior to the writing of the song "Cherry Pie", the album's title and first single was to have been "Uncle Tom's Cabin",[5] a track which foreshadowed the kind of imaginative song writing which would later be more fully revealed on the Dog Eat Dog record.

Although named after the classic novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe, the song tells the story of a witness to the involvement of local police in a double murder.
