(Rythme 3/4)
| _ _ | _ _ |
I'm a young married man and is tired of life
Ten years I've been wed to a sic-k-ly wife
She does nothin all day only sit down and !cry
And she prays out to heaven that she soon will die
Doctor, oh doctor, oh dear Dr John
Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong
I'm afraid of me life, I'll go down in the !soil
If me wife don't stop drinking your cod liver oil
Well a friend of me own came to see me one day
He told me my darling was pining a way
He afterwards told me that she would get !strong
If I only get a bottle from dear Dr John
Doctor, oh doctor, oh dear Dr John
Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong
I'm afraid of me life, I'll go down in the !soil
If me wife don't stop drinking your cod liver oil
It was then that I purchased a bottle to try
The way that she drank it you'd think she might die
Then I bought her a nother, and vanished the !same
Oh me wife she's got cod liver oil on the brain
Doctor, oh doctor, oh dear Dr John
Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong
I'm afraid of me life, I'll go down in the !soil
If me wife don't stop drinking your cod liver oil
Now me house it re sembles a medicine's shop
It's covered with bottles from bottom to top
And then in the morning when the kettle do !boil
I'd swear it was singing the cod liver oil
Doctor, oh doctor, oh dear Dr John
Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong
I'm afraid of me life, I'll go down in the !soil
If me wife don't stop drinking your cod liver oil
