Baby, Baby, Baby, I was worn out and confused
Ever since you left me girl
You know I felt I’d been abused
You took my house and Harley
My Elderado, too
The only thing you left me
Was a hard case of the blues
They carried me to the doctor
To see what he could do
I told him that you left me
He said, “I’ll tell you true—
Ain’t no drug can help you
For what you’re goin’ through
It looks to me like you done got
A hard case of the blues”
The diagnosis of Dr. Love,
Was a hard case of the blues
He picked up his prescription pad
and jotted something down
The address of a widow on the
Other side of town
“She’s got the very symptoms
That got a hold of you
I think that she could be the cure
For your hard case of the blues”
“Send her just a flower
As needed every day
Until she calls to thank you
That’s when you make your play
Follow doctor’s orders
It will change your point of view
I guarantee that she can cure
That hard case of the blues”

Followed doctor’s orders
It only took a day
Before she called to thank me
That’s when she made her play
She said to come over at quarter after two
I was her cure from Doctor Love
For her hard case of the blues
She filled my prescription from Dr. Love
For my hard case of the blues
