Lyrics for Doctor Dark

Mama, mama, here come Doctor Dark Horse clippin', clappin' 'n his ol' hooves makin' sparks Black leather lady Lord carried her bags The hell horn, hell horn, hell horn Horn rim crimped Glasses look out on the pale hell bent Moon milk run O' lady go home Lord they done cookin' done Black lady Black leather lady Done had a white, white, white poor son Mama, mama, here come Doctor Dark Horse clippin', clappin' 'n his ol' hooves makin' sparks Gotta git me who I want to God, Lord knows I've got to oh see that Doctor Dark Mama, mama, here come Doctor Dark Horse clippin', clappin' 'n his ol' hooves makin' sparks Shed a tear on the meadow lark 'n like Tear t' drink T' brush away 'n tear apart 'n black 'n white 'n like Tear t' drink t' brush away 'n tear apart 'n black 'n white 'n like The moon a pail of milk spilled down black in the night Little girl lost a tear 'n her kite T' the night 'n like 'n light God, Lord knows I've got to oh see that Doctor Dark
