Lyrics Oh Doctor, Doctor - Tom Paxton

You told me the sunshine
Was gonna revive me
You told me the cool breeze
Was gonna bring me around
But something is breaking
And moving inside me
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
For the waitin's too slow
Oh doctor, doctor
Please show me some mercy
I'm tired of waiting
Please let me go

I wanna open my window
I wanna feel the sunshine
Listen to children
Go hurryin' 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
For 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
For the waitin's too slow
Oh doctor, doctor
Please show me some mercy
I'm tired of waiting
Please let me go
