G                              F
When your arms are empty, got nowhere to go
G        D7      G
Come on out and catch the show
             G                             B7
There'll be saints and sinners you'll see losers and winners
C                           C#dim7
All kinds of people you might want to know
          G                   E7
Once you get it, you can't forget it,
     D#7      D7        G
W.S. Walcott Medicine Show

Chorus:
     C      D            E
You know he always holds it in a tent,
               G               C        D
And if you're looking for the real thing,
         C        D7      G
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
W.S. Walcott Medicine Show

Chorus:
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
