Do you ever have dat pain in your head?
Do you feel nervous when you go to bed?
Does your pulse run up to a high degree?
Does your body feel warmer
than it ought to be?
You might have the colic,
or you might have the grip,
'cause when a coon is sick
he drops his lower lip!
If it's 'sociated
with the burning of the hand,
you need some herbs from the medicine man.

Oh, de medicine man,
wid de grip in his hand,
he's in every land;
when he explains about your pains
your hair on end will stand!
If you feel kinder sick
why you better run quick,
go as quick as you can
'cause nobody knows
but the medicine man.

Oh, de medicine man,
wid de grip in his hand,
he's in every land;
when he explains about your pains
your hair on end will stand!
If you feel kinder sick
why you better run quick,
go as quick as you can
'cause nobody knows
but the medicine man.

I felt as sick as I could be.
'long in the year of ninety three,
and ev'rybody had a remedy guaranteed to cure
in a minute, don't you see?
Somehow I got worse and had to go to bed,
They had to put ice, by the pound,
on my head!
They sent for a coon named Doctor Horn,
and he had me out of bed by nine next morn.

Oh, de medicine man,
wid de grip in his hand,
he's in every land;
when he explains about your pains
your hair on end will stand!
If you feel kinder sick
why you better run quick,
go as quick as you can
'cause nobody knows
but the medicine man.

Oh, de medicine man,
wid de grip in his hand,
he's in every land;
when he explains about your pains
your hair on end will stand!
If you feel kinder sick
why you better run quick,
go as quick as you can
'cause nobody knows
but the medicine man.
