Medicine Man Tab

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
