Country Doctor Lyrics

Country Doctor lyrics

Deep down in the south county

 Over where the paper mill runs

 Lived a man, a young country doctor

 With the perfect wife and sons

 Well he worked his days

 And Sundays he'd pray

 And nobody knew

 Why the wife slowly withered away

 

 I saw the country doctor, to ask him what

 was wrong with me

 He was caught unaware, accidental and devil may care

 Behind the curtain I see, two shadows in front of me

 Oh nobody know the trouble I've seen

 

 My guess, there was another woman

 And with the kids and the money there was a lot to lose

 He said she had an rare affliction

 And he was doing all he could do

 And we all believed him

 Felt so sorry and then

 I thought once he was a fine man

 Now I don't remember when

 

 I saw the country doctor, to ask him what

 was wrong with me

 He was caught unaware, accidental and devil may care

 Behind the curtain I see, bottles unmarked in front of me

 Whoa nobody knows the trouble I've seen

 

 I saw the country doctor, in a place he didn't see me

 Way out in the middle of the night where he thought

 no one could see

 Over there in the parlor room, making eyes,

 hands roaming free

 Someone soon must know, the trouble I've seen

 

 Did you think about the young ones

 One day they'll know it was you

 And if they let you off one day

 Who then will you turn to

 And my wife remembers one thing

 She said I remember kind of strangely

 At a friends wedding one time

 It was a look that he gave me
