The Band - The W.S. Walcott Medicine Show lyrics

When your arms are empty, got nowhere to go
Come on out and catch this show
There'll be saints and sinners
You'll see losers and winners
All kinds of people you might want to know
Once you get it, you can't forget it
WS walcott Medicine Show

You know he always holds it in a tent
And if you're looking for the real thing
He can show you where it went
There's a young faith healer
He's a woman stealer
He will cure by his command
When the music's hot and you
Might have to stand
To hear the Klondike Klu Klux steamboat band
Don't you sweat it you can't forget it
WS walcott Medicine Show

I'd rather die happy than not die at all


For a man is a fool who
Will not heed the call

Gonna see Miss Brer Foxhole with
Bright diamonds in her teeth
She is pure gold down underneath
She's a rock and roll singer
And a true dead ringer
Boy, somethin' like you ain't never seen
Once you get it you can't forget it
