Medicine Man - Elles Bailey

Roll up my friends and gather round

The Medicine Man is back in town

Mirrors and smoke and trickery

Your very own real life make believe

Bring your money and get in line

Two for a nickel, three for a dime

Miracle cures for aching bones

But he takes your gold, sells you stone

The devil rides in a horse and cart

The purveyor of the darkest art

I was bit by a snake, burnt by the fire

Took the bait, shame on me

I was taken for a ride by a barefaced liar

Admission is free but he robs you blind

A little taste to ease a troubled mind

A glimpse of truth beyond the veil

Oh a fallen angel’s holy grail

He disappeared before sunrise

Before I saw through his disguise

Stole my soul, off he ran

I was played for a fool by a Medicine Man

The devil rides in a horse and cart

The purveyor of the darkest art

I was bit by a snake, burnt by the fire

Took the bait, shame on me

I was taken for a ride

Taken for a ride

He disappeared before sunrise

Before I saw through his disguise

Stole my soul, off he ran

I was played for a fool by a Medicine Man

The devil rides in a horse and cart

The purveyor of the darkest art

I was bit by a snake, burnt by the fire

Took the bait, shame on me

I was taken for a ride

Taken for a ride

By a barefaced liar

Oh taken yeah

Oh I was taken for a ride
