Oh Doctor, Doctor - Tom Paxton

You told me the sunshine

Was bound to revive me

You told me the cool breeze

Was gonna bring me around

But something is breaking

And moving inside me

And something inside me

Is tearing me down

Oh, doctor, doctor

You didn’t give me no warning

You didn’t help me get ready

Now anybody can see

And I can’t stand the pity

And the sorrowful glances

They all know my body

Is quitting on me

Oh, doctor, doctor

Don’t let me just lie here

Don’t let me just wait here

'Cause the waitin’s too slow

Oh, doctor, doctor

Please show me some mercy

I’m tired of waiting

Please let me go

I want to open my window

I want to feel the sunshine

Listen to children

Go hurrying past

See the beautiful blackbird

Settle down in the chestnut

It’s a beautiful sunset

And I hope it’s my last

Oh, doctor, doctor

Don’t let me just lie here

Don’t let me just wait here

'Cause the waitin’s too slow

Oh, doctor, doctor

Please show me some mercy

I’m tired of waiting

Please let me go

Oh, doctor, doctor

Don’t let me just lie here

Don’t let me just wait here

'Cause the waitin’s too slow

Oh, doctor, doctor

Please show me some mercy

I’m tired of waiting

Please let me go
