Lyrics:

Oh, I went to the doctor
I said doctor, please
What do you do when your true love leaves?
He said the hardest thing in the world to do
Is to find somebody believes in you
Make a sad, make a sad, make a sad, sad song
Make a sad, make a sad, make a sad, sad song
And so I went to the whip–poor–will
I said whip–poor–will, please
What do you do when your true love leaves?
He said I only have but one trick up my sleeve
I sing it over and over 'till she comes back to me
I make a sad, make a sad, make a sad, sad song
I make a sad, make a sad, make a sad, sad song
And so I went to a whale
I said killer whale, please
What do you do when your true love leaves?
He said I only have but one trick up my sleeve
I sing it over and over 'till she comes back to me
I make a sad, make a sad, make a sad, sad song
I make a sad, make a sad, make a sad, sad song
And so I went to my momma
I said momma, please
What do you do when your true love leaves?
She said the hardest thing in the world to do
Is to find somebody believes in you
