I’m My Own Doctor
(a song parody to “I’m My Own Grandpa”)
When the war was coming — I had to make a choice.
Kentucky was my home with the Rebels I deploy.
Although I was a doctor — fighting was my skill.
I knew just what was coming — how war is fulfilled.
I found myself with Morgan — riding through the land,
and then I was with Forrest — he was quite the man.
At Chickamauga got hurt — they thought I would die,
when Forrest saw me lying there he was my best ally.
I soon got to a hospital, the doctors gave no help.
I knew that if I was to live — I must do it myself.
A widow women came to me and she would be my nurse,
together we would operate conditions were the worse.
So I bit the bullet as I first began to cut
then I dug my hands - all around my gut.
The perspiration falling down round about my head,
but if I didn’t do this - I would wind up dead.
T’was nothing short miraculous, but is this story true?
or did he just embellish it - I’ll leave that up to you.
He even wrote a book - his stories to regale,
“with Morgan and with Forrest”, - “Four Years" was his tale.
Chorus
I’m my own doctor, I’m my own doctor,
I diced and sliced - to save my life!
I’m my own doctor.
