He was just an

old country doctor

In a little country town

Fame and fortune

had passed him by

Though we never

saw him frown

As day by day

in his kindly way

He'd serve us

one and all

Many a patient

forgot to pay

Although Doc's

fees were small

Though he needed

his dimes and there were

Times that he'd

receive a fee

He'd pass it onto

some poor soul

That needed it

worse than he

He had to sell

his furniture

Couldn't pay his

office rent

So to a dusty room

over a livery stable

Doc Brown and

his satchel went

And on the hitchin' post

at the kerb below

To advertise his wares

He nailed a little

sign that read

Doc Brown has

moved upstairs

And one day he

didn't answer

When they knocked

upon his door

Old Doc Brown

was layin' down

But his soul

was no more

They found him there

in that old black suit

On his face was

a smile of content

But all the money they

could find on him

Was a quarter and

a copper cent

So they opened up

his ledger

And what they saw

gave their hearts a pull

Beside each debtor's

name old Doc

Had write these words

Paid in full

Old Doc should had

A funeral fine

enough for a king

It's a ghastly joke our

town was broke

And no one could

give a thing

'Cept Jones an

undertaker

He did mighty well

Donated an old

iron casket

He had never

been able to sell

And the funeral

procession

It wasn't much for grace

and pomp and the style

But those wagon

loads of mourners

They stretched out

for more than a mile

We wanted to give

him a monument

We kinda figured

we owed him one

'Cause he made our

town a better place

For all the good

he'd done

We pulled up that

old hitchin' post

Where Doc had

nailed a sign

We'd painted it white

and to all of us

It certainly did look fine

Now the rains

and the snows

Have washed away our

white trimmin's of paint

There ain't nothin' left

but Doc's own sign

And that's gettin'

pretty faint

But you can still see

that old hitchin' post

As if in answer to

our prayers

Mutually tellin' the

whole wide world

Doc Brown has

moved upstairs
