| It doesn’t seem so long ago when papa had his medicine show
|
| All the family had a part, I still know them all by heart
|
| Everywhere we traveled we sang that little song
|
| Just sold enough linament to barely get along
|
| One bottle, two bottle, three bottle, four
|
| Mama looks twenty but she’s really eighty four
|
| Look at poppa fiddle, just listen to him play
|
| Had a touch of rhuematism just the other day
|
| Then he threw away his water bottle, put away his pills
|
| Aunt Perdy’s linament cured all his ills
|
| One year in Oklahoma pop was gettin' old
|
| There wasn’t much demand for medicine shows
|
| I still can hear us singing to a dwindiling crowd that spring
|
| We didn’t know that it would be the last time we would sing
|
| One bottle, two bottle, buy it by the quart
|
| Uncle John used it on his foot and cured a wart
|
| All you people sitting here in the front row
|
| Don’t you want to try it it’ll cure a sore toe
|
| If you throw away your water bottle, put away your pills
|
| Aunt Perdy’s linament’ll cure all your ills
|
| Papa started ailing and passed away that fall
|
| We all had to pick cotton to pay the funeral hall
|
| I never got much schoolin', but I learned one thing for sure
|
| There are things in this old life Aunt Perdy’s couldn’t cure
|
| One bottle, two bottle, three bottle, four
|
| Mama looks twenty but she’s really eighty four
|
| Look at poppa fiddle, just listen to him play
|
| Had a touch of rhuematism just the other day
|
| But he threw away his water bottle, put away his pills
|
| Aunt Perdy’s linament cured all his ills
|
| One bottle, two bottle, buy it by the quart
|
| Uncle John used it on his foot and cured a wart
|
| All you people sitting here in the front row
|
| Don’t you want to try it it’ll cure a sore toe
|
| If you throw away your water bottle, put away your pills
|
| Aunt Perdy’s linament’ll cure all your ills
|
| One bottle, two bottle, three bottle, four
|
| Mama looks twenty but she’s really eighty four
|
| Look at poppa fiddle, just listen to him play
|
| Had a touch of rhuematism just the other day
|
| But he threw away his water bottle, put away his pills
|
| Aunt Perdy’s linament cured all his ills |
