Deep down in the south county   Over where the paper mill runs   Lived a man, a young country doctor   With the perfect wife and sons   Well he worked his days   And sundays hed pray   And nobody knew   Why the wife slowly withered away      I saw the country doctor, to ask him what   Was wrong with me   He was caught unaware, accidental and devil may care   Behind the curtain I see, two shadows in front of me   Oh nobody know the trouble Ive seen      My guess, there was another woman   And with the kids and the money there was a lot to lose   He said she had an rare affliction   And he was doing all he could do   And we all believed him   Felt so sorry and then   I thought once he was a fine man   Now I dont remember when      I saw the country doctor, to ask him what   Was wrong with me   He was caught unaware, accidental and devil may care   Behind the curtain I see, bottles unmarked in front of me   Whoa nobody knows the trouble Ive seen      I saw the country doctor, in a place he didnt see me   Way out in the middle of the night where he thought   No one could see   Over there in the parlor room, making eyes,   Hands roaming free   Someone soon must know, the trouble Ive seen      Did you think about the young ones   One day theyll know it was you   And if they let you off one day   Who then will you turn to   And my wife remembers one thing   She said I remember kind of strangely   At a friends wedding one time   It was a look that he gave me
