Lyrics

Let me here, boy
I've got a Page One story buried in my yard
I've got a troubled mind
Going down to the medicine show
If I've got to choose between doing penance
And doing time
Going down to the medicine show
Yes, I am
I've got a one way ticket on the 8:06
To the outskirts of town
I'm going down to the medicine show
And I'll say, "Hey, conductor
Dontcha stop until you hear that gypsy sound"
Going down to the medicine show
I know that it's hard to be a reasonable man
When you stop finding reasons for everything, yeah
But tonight I'll get some answers, baby
Down at the medicine show
At the medicine
Yeah, I know that it's hard to be a reasonable man
When you stop finding reasons for everything, yeah
But tonight I'll get some answers, baby
Down at the medicine show
I'm gonna find me
Alright
Hold that, hold that
I'm gonna find me the gypsy girl
That likes to dance and cry
When I go down to the medicine show
And we're gonna lay our burden down
Beneath that lonesome gypsy sky
I go down to the medicine show
Hold on
We're gonna lay our burden down
Beneath that lonesome gypsy sky
When I go down to the medicine show
I go down to the medicine show
When I go down to the medicine show
Yeah
Let's hear something good for Dennis Duck down there
