Lyrics for Dr John?

[vixenbbw]

I can't believe someone wouldn't have started a thread already but on the unlikely chance that they haven't.....

Let's do it!!

---------------------
As of September 3
---------------------

I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of the bar
From afar
I see the look on my mama’s face
When her son's in the corner, undone

She says that my life is over
But boy, you don't know what you got till it's gone
Come put your head upon my shoulder
She gave me her hand, but I ignored her

Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing I wrong?
‘Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on
Oh, Dr. John

I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of a bar
From afar
I see the look on my daddy's face
When his son's fallin’ over, undone

Well Father my life is over
Well I didn't know what I had now it's gone
Can I lay my head upon your shoulder?
If I fall asleep, will it be over?

Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing I wrong?
‘Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on

Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing I wrong?
‘Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on

They say I'm a big heartbreaker
But Doctor, I never hurt you
Isn't it obvious?

Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing I wrong?

‘Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on

(Another day, another break up)
Oh, Dr. John
(Hold on, and on, Hold on, and on)

I keep on trying
(Another day, another wake up)

We hold on, and on
We hold on, and on

Oh, Dr. John
(Another day, another wake up)

We hold on, and on
We hold on, and on
(Another day, another wake up)

(I keep on trying)
We hold on, and on
We hold on, and on

Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong?
I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on

Dr. John

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Dr. John.

Someone else could attempt this now, this is my second try/fail.


I look for joy in a strange place
from the back of a bar
from afar
See the look on his momma's face
when her son's in the corner undone

She says that my life is over
Boy you don't know what you got till it's gone
Come put your head upon my shoulder
She gave me her hand but I ignore her

oh Dr. Johhhhhhn
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong
Cause I Keep on trying...
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Dr John

I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of a bar
From afar
I see the look on my Daddy's face
When his son's fallin' over, undone
Father my life is over
Oh I didn't know what I had till it's gone
Can I lay my head upon your shoulder
If I fall asleep will it be over

oh Dr. Johhhhhhn
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong
Cause I Keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Dr John
oh Dr. Johhhhhhn
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong
Cause I Keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Dr John

You say I'm a big heartbreaker
But doctor I never hurt you(?)
chorus again and again
....

....what am I doing wrong...

another day, another break-up
we hold on and on we hold on and on and on
another day another wake-up
we hold on and on we hold on and on and on
another day, another break-up
we hold on and on we hold on and on and on
another day another wake-up
we hold on and on we hold on and on and on


endlessly...

Dr John

I give up

[lollipop_monkey]

I get:

I look for joy in a strange place
In the back of a bar
From afar
I see the look on my Daddy's face
When his son's fallin' over, undone

As for the rest...it's too late at night, my brain hurts.

[Blue Sky]

is that from the 30 seconds on iTunes, or the YT vid?
or are your ears just a helluva lot better than mine today

Edit: went to iTunes and heard exactly what you wrote!!

[avoca]

thx so much for these..

still dunno what've the mad chickens or whatever, got to do with it, but maybe I'm missing the poetry of it all..

I love the mellody though and the lyrics seem pretty poignant to me, unless I am misuderstanding them completely..

[jemappelle...]

I think the missing parts are.

From the back of a bar

she gave me her hand but i ignore her

cause part of my life is over
And i didn't know what i had now its gone

You say i b... when i break her
You try to .......... her
..................................

Sorry. Yeah, that is what i've heard so far. I hope this help, even just a tiny bit.

[katydid]

This is such a great song!!!

I'll try



I look for joy in a strange place
from the back of the bar
from afar
I See the look on my momma's face
when her son's fallen over undone

She says that my life is over
But boy you don't know what you got till it's gone
Come put your head upon my shoulder
She gave me her hand but ignore her

oh Dr. John
What am I doing
When I'm wrong
Cause I Keep on trying...
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Oh Dr John

I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of the bar
From afar
I see the look on my Daddy's face
When his son's fallen over, undone
I Found?? when my life is over
Well I didn't know what I had now it's gone
Can I lay my head upon your shoulder
If I fall asleep will it be over...

Oh Dr John
What am I doing
When I'm wrong
Cause I Keep on trying...
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Oh Dr John

What am I doing
When I'm wrong

Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on

They say I'm a big heartbreaker
I tried to remember

Not the urge

Oh Dr John
What am I doing
When I'm wrong

Cause I keep on trying

Repeats

Oh Dr John

You're not alone
You're not alone

Oh Dr John

You're not alone
You're not alone
