Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to The Band or about the 1970s in general.
When your arms are empty, got nowhere to go
Come on out and catch this show
There’ll be saints and sinners, you’ll see losers and winners
All kinds of people you might want to know
Once you get it, you can’t forget it
W.S. Walcott Medicine Show
You know he always holds it in a tent
And if you’re looking for the real thing
He can show you where it went
There’s a young faith healer he’s a woman stealer
He will cure by his command
When the music’s hot and you might have to stand
To hear the Klondike Klu Klux steamboat band
Don’t you sweat it
You can’t forget it
W.S. Walcott Medicine Show
I’d rather die happy than not die at all
For a man is a fool who will not heed the call
Gonna see *Miss Brer Foxhole with bright diamonds in her teeth
She is pure gold down underneath
She’s a rock and roll singer and a true dead ringer
Boy, somethin’ like you ain’t never seen
Once you get it
You can’t forget it
