Prescription for the Blues

All day long
I worry
All night I'm blue
I feel so awfully lonesome
I don't know what to do
And so I ask you doctor to see if you can find
Something in your sachet to pacify my mind
Oh, doctor, doctor
Write me a prescription for the blues

Lately, tell you doctor
Why I'm in misery
Once I had a lover
He went away from me
I went to see the ejection and the voodoo doctors too
They shook their heads
And told there was nothing they could do
Oh, doctor, doctor
Why not write me a prescription for the blues

Just like a little baby
All night, night
I cry
Now doctor if you can't cure me
Why I just as soon to die
So give me something poison, doctor
Won't you please
And then I'll sign a paper saying I die with heart disease
Oh, doctor, doctor
Write me a prescription for the blues
