lyrics

You say you're feeling blue
There's blue ghoses after you
Come to see me, baby
That's the one thing you should do

Come to see the Doctor
Get your prescription now
When you're feeling low down
Come to see me somehow

You go to the hospital
Take all them pills
Hang around with them other men
And it don't cure your ills

Come to see the Doctor
Get your prescription now
When you're feeling low down
Come to see me somehow

You go to the drugstore
Take all that aspirin, too
See your physician 6 times a week
And it don't cure what's ailing you

Come to see the Doctor
Get your prescription now
When you're feeling low down
Come to see me somehow

I can't fix a broken leg
I won't preach you your sins
But if your trouble's in your heart
I'm gonna make you well again

Come to see the Doctor
Get your prescription now
When you're feeling low down
Come to see me somehow
