Sandy Rapp - Good Doctor Sue Lyrics

Good Doctor Sue © Sandy Rapp 2007

Oh they danced, the lambs of God,
Out around the clinic yard,
Singin' Doctor, we are the saviors,
God's will we're here to do.

But she rode, both brave and proud,
On their hit lists, through deadly crowds,
And the ones to whom she rode sang
Hail to Doctor Sue.

Chorus:
Not every seed becomes a tree
Season and soil must ready be.
And half the women in the country, it is true,
Have need of you, Good Doctor Sue.

And there came, the women all,
Fighting through the prayerful wall
Even those among the saviors
Found need of Dr. Sue.

Catholic and Jew, Christian and Cree,
Even a soldier from off the field,
Who said we free them overseas now,
Should not the homeland here be also free?

Repeat chorus

One long day, when work was done
Doc went out, out on the town,
And some of those to whom she rode were
Among the tavern crew.

And they danced, as women do,
Circling to the jukebox tune,
Singin' Doctor, you are a savior,
Hail to Doctor Sue.

Repeat chorus
