Medicine Man Lyrics

Roy Orbison Medicine Man

I'll bring you the talon from an eagle
A big black pearl from the sea
I'll bring one and twenty ponies
If you'll bring Wildflower to me

Medicine Man,Make your magic mine
Turn Wildflower to a clinging vine
Medicine man won't you please help me
Don't leave me down in misery

Rattle them bones,then roll them stones
And make Wildflower mine

I will bring you white buffalo
I'll bring honey from the bee
I'll keep fire-water flowing
If you'll get the big chief to agree

Medicine Man, Help me if you can
Write a secret message in the sand
Medicine man, please let her know
Tell Wildflower that I love her so

Take the breeze and shake the trees
And make Wildflower mine

Now she has no use for a white man
Helpless and worthless like me
Tell her father Big-Strong-Hand
To let Wildflower comfort me

Medicine man,medicine man
Let it be known throughout the land
Medicine man, medicine man
I have to have the hand of Wildflower

Take this piece of calico
Make a dress with a pretty bow
Tie it with a thread of lace
Take it to your secret place
Go into your sacred dance
Say a prayer for our romance
And make Wildflower mine
