Lyrics for W.S. Walcott Medicine Show

When your arms are empty, got no where to go Come on out and catch the 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 W.S. 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 you might have to stand To hear the Klondike Klu Klux steamboat band Don't you sweat it You can't forget it W.S. Walcott Medicine Show I'd rather die happy than not die at all And a man is a fool who will not heed the call Gonna see Miss Brer Foxhole she's got diamonds in her teeth She is real gold down underneath She's a rock and roll singer and a true dead ringer For something like you ain't never seen Once you get it You can't forget it W.S. Walcott Medicine Show W.S. Walcott Medicine Show W.S. Walcott Medicine Show W.S. Walcott Medicine Show
