This song was written by Dave Gunning and Alan Syliboy as a tribute to medicine man Jerry Lonecloud. Dr. Lonecloud was born in 1854 into a Mi'kmaw family of herbalists who traveled through British North America and the northeastern United States, making and selling remedies. He also traveled with Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show and had an interest in the Kiowa Medicine Show.

Healing and Bigelow's Wild West Show ran and had an interest in the Kiowa Medicine Show. Healing and Bigelow's Wild West Show recreated him to return to the States early in the 1880s. On December 6, 1917, during the Halifax explosion, Lonecloud and his family were living on the shores of the Halifax Harbour at Tufts Cove. The catastrophe killed two of his daughters. Lonecloud died in Halifax on April 16, 1930.

Lyrics
With the "Wild West Show" he traveled around
He was restless and not for the settling down
And found himself home any time he would go Deep in the woods where the flora did grow

He'd walk back into town with the breaking of dawn
And prayed over the herbs for a medicine strong
Gathered a crowd with the music that played
Sold from the cart all the remedies he made

It'll make you feel better, make you feel fine
Strong as the spirits - ones that are kind
It'll make you feel better, better than gold
When you watch Dr. Lonecloud's Medicine Show

He was a reader of stars and a reader of dreams
He knew that the world was much more than it seemed
With kids on his pigtails he spun around
Until the leather and dust from the carnyleft town

It'll make you feel better, make you feel fine
As sure as the morning follows the night
It'll make you feel better, better than gold When you watch Dr. Lonecloud's Medicine Show

He was troubled by how things disappear
Fading in time through the years
Some things we share
But others we hide just to save them

Now you can go along with it or fight 'til it's gone
You might never prove that what's right isn't wrong
Or roll with the punches from places to places
For a coin in a jar and a smile on some faces

It'll make you feel better, make you feel fine
Sure as the morning follows the night
It'll make you feel better, better than gold
When you watch Dr. Lonecloud's Medicine Show
It'll make you feel better, better than gold
When you watch Dr. Lonecloud's Medicine Show
When you watch Dr. Lonecloud's Medicine Show
