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
