Dropsy Cure Weather

Lyrics

[DOLLY, spoken] Look at that, a cat-cloud [DOLLY] Snoozing in the sun Feeling so at ease Lucky sign A cat-cloud Lazing in the sky Waiting for a breeze I've never seen a sky Outshine this shade of blue A perfect day to make sweet juices bubble and brew And what's that restless rustling all around me? Dropsy cure weather It's dropsy cure weather Smell the gentle scent of mint and sassifras And fragrant roots that hide beneath the Indian grass And my, it never ceases to astound me How dropsy cure weathеr And I get together To bottlе up a batch of my cure Known as Dollyheart's secret gypsy dropsy cure [DOLLY, CATHERINE & COLLIN] Dollyheart's secret gypsy dropsy cure [COLLIN, spoken] Water's boiling [DOLLY, spoken] Catherine, the water's boiling [DOLLY] Fetch me a forest mushroom A bunch of sour cherries Some dried-up moss And might as well toss In a couple of chinaberries Bring me a ripe persimmon A teaspoon of vanilla And just a hint Of clover and mint And a bottle of sarsparilla You depend on my special touch Not too little and not too much Gypsy ingredients sour and sweet I hear you ripen in the heat Snakeweed, sneezewort, and velvet beans Balm of Gilead, goosefoot greens Secret ingredients, roots and bark I hear you growing in the dark [COLLIN] Found you a forest mushroom A bunch of sour berries Some dried-up moss And might as well toss In a couple of chinaberries [CATHERINE] Brought you a ripe persimmon A teaspoon of vanilla [CATHERINE & DOLLY] And just a hint Of clover and mint And a bottle of sarsaparilla [DOLLY] Cattail, bloodroot and rainbow weeds Fishbone, thistles and poppyseeds Cherokee rose petals, fresh and pink [CATHERINE] Everything but the kitchen sink [DOLLY, CATHERINE & COLLIN] Pepper and chow-chow mustard It's easy to get flustered Some watercress Sweet cider, I guess And sherry wine for sure In Dollyheart's secret gypsy dropsy cure In Dollyheart's secret gypsy dropsy cure In Dollyheart's secret gypsy dropsy— [DOLLY] There it goes The cat-cloud Pouncing at the sun Leaping through the trees
