Cod Liver Oil

      Dm                       
I'm a young married man and I'm 
 C        Dm
tired of life,
    C                        G/B  
Ten years I've been wed to a pale 
       Am
sickly wife,
      Dm                           
She's nothing to do only sit there 
    C
and cry,
Dm          C          Am       
Praying and praying to God she 
     Dm
would die.

[Verse 2]
A friend of my own came to see me 
one day,
He told me my wife she was pining 
away,
He afterwards told me that she would
 get strong,
If I get a bottle from dear Dr John.

[Chorus]
    Dm
Oh doctor, oh doctor, oh dear Dr. 
John,
     C                   C/B      
Your cod liver oil is so pure and 
   Am
so strong,
     Dm                            
I'm afraid of my life, I'll go down
        C
 in the soil,

      Dm              C           
If me wife don't stop drinking 
  Am        Dm
your cod liver oil.

[Instrumental]
Dm, C (x2)

[Verse 3]
I bought her a bottle, well just for
 to try,
And the way that she drank it you'd 
think she might die,
I bought her another, it vanished 
the same,
And then she got cod liver oil on 
the brain.

[Verse 4]
I bought her another, she drank it 
no doubt,
And then she began to get terrible 
stout,
And when she got stout well of 
course she got strong,
And I became jealous of dear Dr 
John.

[Chorus]
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.

[Instrumental]
Dm, C (x4)

[Verse 5]
Me house it resembles a great 
doctor's shop
Its covered in bottles from bottom 
to top
Well early the morning the kettle 
does boil
You would swear it was singing of 
cod liver oil.

[Chorus]
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,
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.
