The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife Lyrics

The doctor and the doctor's wife

Struggling hard to build a life

And sometimes luck or a log washes on the shore

Dick Boulton from the Indian camp

Trudging through the cold wet sand

With a cross-cut saw firmly in his hand

The steamer Magic sailing past

Through the woods past the cottage

And past the big two men on the little dock

Oh, release me from my pledge, I'm standing on a ledge, and I'm doing the best I can

Oh, the shotgun in my hands, I let the screen door slam to my wife, the doctor's wife

Son, take me as I live and am

Come and help me understand what it means, what it takes to be a man

Show me where confusion starts

Show your place among the stars

Show me where the black squirrels are

Oh, release me from my pledge, I'm standing on a ledge, and I'm doing the best I can

Take this shotgun from my hands, I let the screen door slam to my wife, the doctor's wife
