L 8'pose imos’ ev'ry body t'ink hees own jobs’ ‘bout de hardes’ From de boss man on de gouvernement to poor man on de town, From de curé to de lawyer, an’ de farmer to de schoot boy,

An’ ail de noder feller was mak' de worl go roun !

But dere's wan man got hees han’ full t'roo ev'ry kin’ of wedder, An’ he's never sure of not’ing but work an' work away,

Dat's de man dey call de docteur, w'en yot ketch heem on dé contree, An’ he's only wan I know — me — dont’ got no holiday: !

If you're comin of de city, spen' de summer-tam among us

An’ you walk out on de morning w’en de leetle bird is sing

Mebbe den you ineet de docteur w'en he’s passin’ wit’ hees buggy An you tink ‘ Wall ! contree docteur mus’ be very pleasan’ ting !

Drivin' dat way all de summer up an’ down along de reever, W'ere de nice cool win’ is blowin’ among de maple ie,

Den w'en hc's mak' hees visit, comin' home before de night tam, For spen' de quiet evening wit’ hees wife an familee."”
