Old Doc Brown

[00:00:00] Let me tell you bout a song called Doc Brown

[00:00:05] And it needs no introduction

[00:00:24] He was just an old country doctor

[00:00:26] In a little Kentucky town

[00:00:29] Fame and fortune had passed him

[00:00:31] By though we never saw him frown

[00:00:37] As day by day in his kindly way

[00:00:39] He'd serve us one and all

[00:00:41] Many a patient forgot to pay

[00:00:44] Although Doc's fees were small

[00:00:49] Though he needed his dimes

[00:00:50] And there were times that he'd receive a fee

[00:00:54] He'd pass it onto some poor soul

[00:00:56] That needed it more than he

[00:01:01] He had to sell his furniture

[00:01:03] Cause he couldn't pay his office rent

[00:01:06] So to a dusty room over a livery

[00:01:09] Stable Doc Brown and his satchel went

[00:01:13] And on the hitching post at the kerb

[00:01:15] Below to advertise his wares

[00:01:18] He nailed a little sign

[00:01:19] That read Doc Brown has moved upstairs

[00:01:25] Then one day he didn't answer

[00:01:27] When they knocked upon his door

[00:01:30] Old Doc Brown was layin' down

[00:01:34] But his soul was no more

[00:01:37] They found him there in that old black suit

[00:01:41] On his face was a smile of content

[00:01:45] But all the money they could find

[00:01:46] On him was just a quarter and a copper cent

[00:01:52] So they opened up his ledger

[00:01:54] And what they saw gave their hearts a pull

[00:01:58] For beside each debtor's name old Doc

[00:02:01] Had write these words Paid In Full

[00:02:06] Old Doc should had a funeral fine enough for king

[00:02:11] It was a ghastly joke our town was broke

[00:02:14] And no one could give a thing

[00:02:18] Ah cept to ole Curly Jones

[00:02:19] An undertaker he did mighty well

[00:02:22] Donated an old iron casket

[00:02:24] He had never been able to sell

[00:02:28] And that funeral procession well

[00:02:31] It wadn't much for grace and pomp and

[00:02:33] The style

[00:02:35] But those wagon loads of mourners

[00:02:38] They stretched out for more than a mile

[00:02:40] We wanted to give him a monument

[00:02:42] We kinda figured we owed him one

[00:02:45] Cause he made our town a better place

[00:02:47] For all the good he'd done

[00:02:50] So we pulled up that old hitching post

[00:02:52] Where Doc had nailed a sign

[00:02:54] We painted it white and to

[00:02:56] All of us it certainly did look fine

[00:02:59] Now the rains and the snows have washed away

[00:03:02] Our white trimmin's of paint

[00:03:05] There ain't nothing left

[00:03:06] But Doc's own sign and that's getting kinda faint

[00:03:11] But you can still see that old hitching post

[00:03:14] As if in answer to our prayers

[00:03:17] Mutually telling the whole wide

[00:03:19] World Doc Brown has moved upstairs
