"Medicine Chest" lyrics

John Hartford Lyrics

"Medicine Chest"

All in the time of a steamboat run
When the mops are hung, and the work is done
And we put our cares and sorrows to rest
We gather around the old medicine chest
We gather around the old medicine chest

Memories fond of Mother and Dad
And all the good times we ever had
But the times I think I like best
When we hang around the old medicine chest
When we hang around the old medicine chest

When I've done my final show
And the good Lord says its time to go
I'll say farewell, may you all be blessed
Hang around the old medicine chest
Hang around the old medicine chest

A buggy horse running in the anchor line
The carts go out at sailing time
Come before supper, and please bring a guest
Well, gather around the old medicine chest
Well, gather around the old medicine chest

When I've done my final show
And the good Lord says its time to go
I'll say farewell, may you all be blessed
You all gather around the old medicine chest
You all gather around the old medicine chest
