歌曲名 Papa's Medicine Show

歌手名 Bobbie Gentry

作曲：Jamie Horton

Seem so long ago

When papa had his medicine show

All the family had a part

I still know them all by heart

Everywhere we traveled we sang that little song

Just sold enough linament to barely get along

One bottle two bottle

Three bottle four

Mama looks twenty but she's really eighty four

Look at poppa fiddle

Just listen to him play

Had a touch of rhuemat

Ism just the other day

Then he threw away his water bottle

Threw away his pills

Aunt Perdy's linament cured all his ills

One year in Oklahoma pop was getting old

There wasn't much demand for medicine shows

I still can hear us singing

To a dwindiling crowd that spring

We didn't know that it would be

The last time we would sing

One bottle two bottle

Buy it by the quart

Uncle John used it on his foot and cured a wart

All you people sitting here in the front row

Don't you want to try it it'll cure a sore toe

If you throw away your water bottle

Throw away your pills

Aunt Perdy's linament'll cure all your ills

Papa started ailing and passed away that fall

We all had to pick cotton to pay the funeral hall

I never got much schooling

But I learned one thing for sure

There are things in this old life

Aunt Perdy's couldn't cure

One bottle two bottle three bottle four

Mama looks twenty but she's really eighty four

Look at poppa fiddle just listen to him play

Had a touch of rhuematism just the other day

But he threw away his watter bottle

Threw away his pills

Aunt Perdy's linament cured all his ills

One bottle two bottle

Buy it by the quart

Uncle John used it on his foot and cured a wart

All you people sitting here in the front row

Don't you want to try it it'll cure a sore toe

If you throw away your water bottle

Throw away your pills

Aunt perdy's linament'll cure all your ills

One bottle two bottle three bottle four

Mama looks twenty but she's really eighty four

Look at poppa fiddle just listen to him play
