22 Oct 07 - 03:23 PM (#2176710) Subject: Tune Req: Doctor, doctor (trad, USA) From: Wolfhound person Tune played on hammered dulcimer CD (Summer's End) by Lisa & Heather Malyuk of Ohio, and incessantly by my other half (the CD, that is). Anybody got a lead on where I might find the dots for him - it's not on most of the usual tune sites, and the arrangement is difficult to pick the tune notes out of. Thanks Paws |

Thanks, Sean - I'm in the UK and the book is either available direct from the compiler at $26 or from a shop here in the UK at 26 UKP. So no contest, really. We'll fly it in. Thanks very much for the lead. Paws |

Only lyrics I know to it are: "Doctor, doctor come here quick, "I swallowed my tobacco and it's makin' me sick." I picked the tune up from a banjo player friend. Don't know the original source, though. Sean |
