Five Horse Johnson - Mississippi King

Float into the flame like a river bo gypsy!
Gather 'round the river cause I'm gonna set you all free
Do what I'll say and you'll have all the power
Make the suckers dance and charge 'em by the hour

Snappin' the clocks when you do that thing
So you're gonna shake for the Mississippi king
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine

You were the queen of a second horse town
All of his buddies can't be rodeo clowns
Line 'em up with sugar till the river runs bone dry
Servin' up the fantasies unlimited supply

Snappin' the clocks when you do that thing
So you're gonna shake for the Mississippi king
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine

Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine

I know you've been bruised by losers, lovers, liars
Set the tables long baby labor lives no longer
Spend all your life and you'll wish it were flowers
Your pimples full of petals can't back up those hours

Snappin' the clocks when you do that thing
So you're gonna shake for the Mississippi king
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
