Watkins Family Hour - Prescription for the Blues lyrics

All day long I worry All night long I am blue I'm so very lonesome I don't know what to do So look into your satchel and see if you can find Something for me doctor that'll satisfy my mind Doctor, doctor, write me a prescription for the blues Well let me tell you doctor Why I'm in misery Once I had a lover She ran across the sea I went to see gypsy and the voodoo doctors too They shook their heads and told there was nothing they could do Doctor, doctor, write me a prescription for the blues Just like a little baby All night long I cry If you can not cure me Doctor I'm bound to die So give me something poison, doctor won't you please Then I'll sign a paper saying I died from heart disease Doctor, doctor, write me a prescription for the blues Doctor, doctor, write me a prescription for the blues
