[Verse 1]
E* E*
Call the doctor pretty baby, you know I'm near to my last breath
E* E*
You'd better hurry now honey, or you're gonna be my death
E* E*
You'd better throw away the spoons and all the other dirty things
E* E* E*
'Cos when the law arrives this evening, I don't think they'll wait and ring
[Verse 1]
E* E*
Call the doctor pretty baby, tell him he's gotta rush and run
E* E*
'Cos I think I've had too much babe, tell him it ain't no fun
[Instrumental]
E* E* E* E*

E* E*
Hey there's the door now pretty baby, see who's on the other side
E* E*
Tell them to back up with the wagon now I think I'm going for a ride
[Instrumental]
E* E* E* E*
[Verse 4]
E* E*
Tell them I did it to myself babe, and I lived a life of sin
E* E*
Tell them black ain't always white babe, and without sure ain't within
