Old Doc Brown - Johnny Cash[00:00:05]

He was just an old country doctor[00:01:20]

In a little country town[00:01:21]

Fame and fortune had passed him by[00:01:24]

Though we never saw him frown[00:01:26]

As day by day in his kindly way[00:01:29]

He'd serve us one and all[00:01:31]

Many a patient forgot to pay[00:01:34]

Although Doc's fees were small[00:01:36]

Though he needed his dimes and there were[00:01:39]

Times that he'd receive a fee[00:01:41]

He'd pass it onto some poor soul[00:01:44]

That needed it worse than he[00:01:46]

He had to sell his furniture[00:01:49]

Couldn't pay his office rent[00:01:50]

So to a dusty room over a livery stable[00:01:53]

Doc Brown and his satchel went[00:01:56]

And on the hitchin' post at the kerb below[00:01:59]

To advertise his wares[00:02:02]

He nailed a little sign that read[00:02:04]

"Doc Brown has moved upstairs"[00:02:07]

And one day he didn't answer[00:02:10]

When they knocked upon his door[00:02:11]

Old Doc Brown was layin' down[00:02:14]

But his soul was no more[00:02:17]

They found him there in that old black suit[00:02:19]

On his face was a smile of content[00:02:22]

But all the money they could find on him[00:02:25]

Was a quarter and a copper cent[00:02:27]

So they opened up his ledger[00:02:30]

And what they saw gave their hearts a pull[00:02:32]

Beside each debtor's name old Doc[00:02:35]

Had write these words "Paid in full"[00:02:38]

Old Doc should had[00:02:43]

A funeral fine enough for a king[00:02:44]

It's a ghastly joke our town was broke[00:02:47]

And no one could give a thing[00:02:50]

'Cept Jones an undertaker[00:02:52]

He did mighty well[00:02:54]

Donated an old iron casket[00:02:55]

He had never been able to sell[00:02:57]

And the funeral procession[00:02:59]

It wasn't much for grace and pomp and the style[00:03:01]

But those wagon loads of mourners[00:03:05]

They stretched out for more than a mile[00:03:08]

We wanted to give him a monument[00:03:11]

We kinda figured we owed him one[00:03:12]

'Cause he made our town a better place[00:03:15]

For all the good he'd done[00:03:17]

We pulled up that old hitchin' post[00:03:20]

Where Doc had nailed a sign[00:03:22]

We'd painted it white and to all of us[00:03:25]

It certainly did look fine[00:03:28]

Now the rains and the snows[00:03:31]

Have washed away our white trimmin's of paint[00:03:33]

There ain't nothin' left but Doc's own sign[00:03:36]

And that's gettin' pretty faint[00:03:39]

But you can still see that old hitchin' post[00:03:42]

As if in answer to our prayers[00:03:45]

Mutually tellin' the whole wide world[00:03:48]

Doc Brown has moved upstairs[00:03:51]
