1
I'm a young married man and I'm tired of life
2
For years I've been married to a poor sickly wife
3
She does nothin' all day but to sit there and sigh
4
Wishin' and prayin' that she-ee could die
5
A friend from the village was talkin' one day
6
I told him me wife was a-fadin' away
7
He afterwards told me that she would get strong
8
If I got a bottle from old Doctor John
9
Well I bought her one bottle to give her good cheer
10
The way that she drank it you'd swear it was beer
11
I got her a second, and it went the same
12
I think she's got cod liver oil on the brain
13
Oh doctor, oh doctor, oh dear doctor John
14
Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong
15
I'm afraid of me life I'll go down in the soil
16
If me wife don't stop drinkin' your cod liver oil
17
Well it gave her good cheer and of that there's no doubt
18
Each week she got better and then she got stout
19
And as she got fatter of course she got strong
20
I think there's a devil in old Doctor John
21
There's bottles and bottles all over the house
22
But as she got strong I'm as quiet as a mouse
23
I've got to the stage if the kettle should boil
24
I'd swear it was singing of cod liver oil
