Papa's Medicine Show - Bobbie Gentry (芭比·珍翠)[00:00:00]
Seem so long ago[00:00:00]
When papa had his medicine show[00:00:03]
All the family had a part[00:00:09]
I still know them all by heart[00:00:13]
Everywhere we traveled we sang that little song[00:00:19]
Just sold enough linament to barely get along[00:00:31]
One bottle two bottle[00:00:43]
Three bottle four[00:00:44]
Mama looks twenty but she's really eighty four[00:00:46]
Look at poppa fiddle[00:00:49]
Just listen to him play[00:00:50]
Had a touch of rhuemat[00:00:52]
Ism just the other day[00:00:54]
Then he threw away his water bottle[00:00:56]
Threw away his pills[00:00:57]
Aunt Perdy's linament cured all his ills[00:00:59]
One year in Oklahoma pop was getting old[00:01:06]
There wasn't much demand for medicine shows[00:01:15]
I still can hear us singing[00:01:22]
To a dwindiling crowd that spring[00:01:27]
We didn't know that it would be[00:01:34]
The last time we would sing[00:01:38]
One bottle two bottle[00:01:46]
Buy it by the quart[00:01:47]
Uncle John used it on his foot and cured a wart[00:01:49]
All you people sitting here in the front row[00:01:52]
Don't you want to try it it'll cure a sore toe[00:01:55]
If you throw away your water bottle[00:01:59]
Throw away your pills[00:02:00]
Aunt Perdy's linament'll cure all your ills[00:02:02]
Papa started ailing and passed away that fall[00:02:09]
We all had to pick cotton to pay the funeral hall[00:02:18]
I never got much schooling[00:02:27]
But I learned one thing for sure[00:02:32]
There are things in this old life[00:02:38]
Aunt Perdy's couldn't cure[00:02:43]
One bottle two bottle three bottle four[00:02:51]
Mama looks twenty but she's really eighty four[00:02:54]
Look at poppa fiddle just listen to him play[00:02:57]
Had a touch of rhuematism just the other day[00:03:00]
But he threw away his watter bottle[00:03:03]
Threw away his pills[00:03:05]
Aunt Perdy's linament cured all his ills[00:03:06]
One bottle two bottle[00:03:12]
Buy it by the quart[00:03:13]
Uncle John used it on his foot and cured a wart[00:03:15]
All you people sitting here in the front row[00:03:18]
Don't you want to try it it'll cure a sore toe[00:03:21]
If you throw away your water bottle[00:03:24]
Throw away your pills[00:03:25]
Aunt perdy's linament'll cure all your ills[00:03:27]
One bottle two bottle three bottle four[00:03:33]
Mama looks twenty but she's really eighty four[00:03:35]
Look at poppa fiddle just listen to him play[00:03:38]
