	作词 : Foley
	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
	DocHad 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
