The W.S. Walcott Medicine Show

Robbie Robertson

When your arms are empty, got nowhere 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 the young faith healer, he's a woman stealer
He will cure by his command
When the music's hot then 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
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
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
