There's a young faith healer he's a woman stealer

I'd rather die happy than not die at all
And a man is a fool who will not heed the call

She is real gold down underneath
She's a rock and roll singer and a true dead ringer
For something like you ain't never seen
Once you get it, you can't forget it

W.s. walcott medicine show
