Prescription for the Blues

All day long I worry, all night long 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
I've got those 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 egiptian and the voodoo doctors too
They shook their heads and told me, 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 long 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 sayin' I die with heart disease
Oh doctor, doctor, write me a prescription for the blues
