Cod Liver Oil Traditional 
I'm a young married man and I'm tired of me life For lately I married an ailing young wife She does nothing all day only sits down and sigh Sayin: "I wish to the lord that I only could die" 
Oh doctor, dear doctor, oh doctor de Jongh Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong I'm afraid of me life, I'll go down in the soil If me wife don't stop drinkin' your cod liver oil 
Til a friend of me own came to see me one day And he told me me wife was just pining away But he afterwards told me that she would get strong If I'd buy her a bottle from doctor de Jongh 
Oh doctor, dear doctor, oh doctor de Jongh Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong I'm afraid of me life, I'll go down in the soil If me wife don't stop drinkin' your cod liver oil 
So I bought her a bottle it was just for to try And the way that she scoffed it, you'd swear she was dry I bought her another, it went just the same Til I own she's got cod liver oil on the brain 
Oh doctor, dear doctor, oh doctor de Jongh Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong I'm afraid of me life, I'll go down in the soil If me wife don't stop drinkin' your cod liver oil 
My house it resembles a big doctor's shop With bottles and bottles from bottom to top And when in the morning the kettle's a-boil You'd swear it was singin' out: Cod Liver Oil 
Oh doctor, dear doctor, oh doctor de Jongh Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong I'm afraid of me life, I'll go down in the soil If me wife don't stop drinkin' your cod liver oil
