He was just an old country doctor   In a little country town   Fame and fortune had passed him by   Though we never saw him frown      As day by day in his kindly way   He'd serve us one and all   Many a patient forgot to pay   Although Doc's fees were small      Though he needed his dimes and there were   Times that he'd receive a fee   He'd pass it onto some poor soul   That needed it worse than he      He had to sell his furniture   Couldn't pay his office rent   So to a dusty room over a livery stable   Doc Brown and his satchel went      And on the hitchin' post at the kerb below   To advertise his wares   He nailed a little sign that read   "Doc Brown has moved upstairs"      And one day he didn't answer   When they knocked upon his door   Old Doc Brown was layin' down   But his soul was no more      They found him there in that old black suit   On his face was a smile of content   But all the money they could find on him   Was a quarter and a copper cent      So they opened up his ledger   And what they saw gave their hearts a pull   Beside each debtor's name old Doc   Had write these words, "Paid in full"      Old Doc should had   A funeral fine enough for a king   It's a ghastly joke our town was broke   And no one could give a thing      'Cept Jones an undertaker   He did mighty well   Donated an old iron casket   He had never been able to sell      And the funeral procession   It wasn't much for grace and pomp and the style   But those wagon loads of mourners   They stretched out for more than a mile      We wanted to give him a monument   We kinda figured we owed him one   'Cause he made our town a better place   For all the good he'd done      We pulled up that old hitchin' post   Where Doc had nailed a sign   We'd painted it white and to all of us   It certainly did look fine      Now the rains and the snows   Have washed away our white trimmin's of paint   There ain't nothin' left but Doc's own sign   And that's gettin' pretty faint      But you can still see that old hitchin' post   As if in answer to our prayers   Mutually tellin' the whole wide world   Doc Brown has moved upstairs
