The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All day long I'm worried, all night long I'm blue
I'm so awfully lonesome, I don't know what to do
So I ask you doctor, see if you can't find
Something in your satchel to satisfy my mind
Doctor, doctor, write me a prescription for the blues
The wearied blues
Let me tell you doctor, why I'm in misery
Once I had a lover, he went away from me
Sent to see the gypsy,
voodoo
doctors too
Shook their heads and told me, nothing they could do
Doctor, doctor, write me a prescription for the blues
The mean old blues
Like a little baby, all day long I cry
And if you can't cure me, I just am sure to die
Give me something, poison, doctor won't you please
Then I'll sign a paper: died with the heart's disease
Doctor, doctor, write me a prescription for the blues
The plain old blues
