Lyrics
Chorus:
Oh! Doctor, Oh! Doctor, I’m feeling blue
Oh! Doctor, Oh! Doctor, it’s up to you
The drug stores on the corners
Are filled with liquor mourners
I told a drug clerk my condition,
He said, “Go see your physician”
Oh! Doctor, Oh! Doctor, don’t feel my pulse
That’s not what I need for results
Write the prescription and please make it say
“Take with your meals,” I eat ten times a day
Oh! Doctor, Oh! Doctor, help me pull thro’
For I’ll never get well ’till you do
