All day long I worry all night I'm blue

I feel so awfully lonesome I don't know what to do

And so I ask you doctor to see if you can find

Something in your sachet to pacify my mind

Oh doctor doctor write me a prescription for the blues

Latly tell you doctor why I'm in misery

Once I had a lover he went away from me

I went to see the ejection and the voodoo doctors too

They shook their heads and told there was nothing they could do

Oh doctor doctor why not write me a prescription for the blues

Just like a little baby all night night I cry

Now doctor if you can't cure me why I just as soon to die

So give me something poison doctor won't you please

And then I'll sign a peper sayin' I die with heart disease

Oh doctor doctor write me a prescription for the blues
