verse 1
I'm a young married man and I'm tired of life,
Ten years I've been wed to a pale sickly wife,
She's nothing to do only sit there and cry,
Praying and praying to God she would die.
verse 2
Oh doctor, oh doctor, oh dear Dr. John,
Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong,
I'm afraid of my life, I'll go down in the soil,
If me wife don't stop drinking your cod liver oil.
