Lyrics
big chief said to medicine man
I can't bear walking across this land
it hurts my feet and I've got nowhere to stand
oh help me please mister medicine man
big chief called on medicine man
do you have any thoughts boy what's your plan
he said we'll lay these hides all across this land
oh thank you thank you mister medicine man
go now bang your medicine drum
bang it in the evening till the morning sun
think on your feet cause you're under the gun
looks like trouble has just begun
big chief said to medicine man
you failed me once you won't do it again
when the moon is round that'll be your end
unless you can fix this mess I'm in
go now bang your medicine drum
bang it in the evening till the morning sun
big chief callin' for you you'd better run
you better make good before the rising sun
whoa spirits' cried medicine man
big chief's gonna take my life in his hands
give me a sign tell me what'll I do?
Then a vision came across like mocassin shoes
go now bang your medicine drum
bang it in the evening till the morning sun
think on your feet cause you're under the gun
go now bang your medicine drum
bang it in the evening till the morning sun
big chief callin' for you you'd better run
looks like medicine man has won
