Medicine tongue and a heavy hand together make a fist They put me down and I do not rise And now as an old child, I'll hand it down I'll hand it down, then I'll blow around See me blow around, just like dirty paper I crossed my mind ahead of us Just there where the trees give way Do forgive, do forgive, I will forget your name Far be it from me Far be it from me to take care By word of mouth
