Liza Green felt aw'fly sick,
sent out for the doctor quick,
the doctor called around,
these words to say:
"You're suff'ring from a love attack,
and if you want to bring health back,
a lovin' man must love you every day."
Then he turned to say goodbye
just to hear Eliza cry:

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Doctor
won't you kindly hear my plea?
I know, you know doctor
exactly what is best for me.
Hear me sigh, hear me cry,
surely you ain't goin' to let me die,
for if some love will make me gain,
do your duty doctor, cure my pain.

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Doctor
won't you kindly hear my plea?
I know, you know doctor
exactly what is best for me.
Hear me sigh, hear me cry,
surely you ain't goin' to let me die,
for if some love will make me gain,
do your duty doctor, cure my pain.

Doctor said: "I can't decline
curing patients is my line."
Then started lovin' Liza good and strong.
Soon she was feeling well once more,
the doctor then looked t'ward the door
and said: "I guess I'd best be getting along."
But Eliza hollered quick,
"Oh, I fear I'm getting sick..."

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Doctor
won't you kindly hear my plea?
I know, you know doctor
exactly what is best for me.
Hear me sigh, hear me cry,
surely you ain't goin' to let me die,
for if some love will make me gain,
do your duty doctor, cure my pain.

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Doctor
won't you kindly hear my plea?
I know, you know doctor
exactly what is best for me.
Hear me sigh, hear me cry,
surely you ain't goin' to let me die,
for if some love will make me gain,
do your duty doctor, cure my pain.
