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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The style[00:02:33]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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