I've got a Page One story buried in my yard I've got a troubled mind I'm going down to the medicine show If I've got to choose between doing trouble And doing time I'm going down to the medicine show I've got a one way ticket on the 8: 06 To the outskirts of town I'm going down to the medicine show And I'll say, "hey conductor Now dontcha stop until you hear that gypsy sound I'm going down to the medicine show But I know that it's hard to be a reasonable man When you stop finding reasons for everything But tonight I'll find some answers Down at the medicine show I'm gonna find me that gypsy girl Who likes to dance and cry When I go down to the medicine show And we're gonna lay that burden down Beneath that lonesome gypsy sky When I go down to the medicine show
