Medicine Man Lyrics - El Astronauta - Quaker City Nighthawks

Back in the winter of '53 that mean old devil had it out for me 

Death met the devil by the old oak tree 

Death and the devil rode after me 

Death held the fever nearly killed me dead 

From his black magic fingers to his fiery lips 

Death met the devil by the old oak tree 

Death and the devil rode after me 

Mama told me son be as brave as you can 

Mama told Pa get the medicine man 

He gave me something for the pain 

He gave me something to help me sleep 

He took one himself and he disappeared 

He told Heaven not to let me in 

Mama told me son be as brave as you can 

Mama told Pa get the medicine man 

Death held the fever nearly killed me dead 

From his black magic fingers to his fiery lips 

Death met the devil by the old oak tree 

Death and the devil rode after me
