Oh, Doctor, Doctor

Words and Music by 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.
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,
I want to 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.
