Went To The Doctor
by 
Hans Theessink 
recording of 1987 
from Baby Wants To Boogie, 
Been across the country, been a-travellin' 'round 
Been in every city, been in every town 
Lived the hard life, drinkin' whiskey and wine 
If the boogie woogie kills me, Lordie, I don't mind 
I don't mind, lord, I don't mind 
If the boogie woogie kills me, Lordie, I don't mind 
Went to the doctor, doctor told me son 
Ain't very wise what you done done 
If you don't skip your sporting life 
You gonna be a dead man, before you're forty-five 
Before you're forty-five, before you're forty-five 
You gonna be a dead man before you're forty-five 
I tell you good people, 'bout a friend of mine 
A picker and a singer, gave us all a good time 
One day it hit him, hit him so bad 
Nearly killed the best friend, I've ever had 
I've ever had, I've ever had 
I tell you good people it nearly killed him dead 
Been across the country, been a-travellin' 'round 
Been in every city, been in every town 
Lived the hard life, drinkin' whiskey and wine 
If the boogie woogie kills me, Lordie, I don't mind
