IT WON’T HURT NO MORE
As recorded by Buster Carter & Preston Young, on Columbia 15702D, 1931.

“Hello, Doc; I’ve got a bad tooth.
I want you to look and see what to do.”
“Yes, my lady, come right in.
I’ll pull it out; I’ll put one in.

CHORUS: “Then it won’t hurt no more,
Then it won’t hurt no more.”

“What will you have me do now, Doc?
Because, you know, a pain is what I’ve got.”
“Just lay down and open wide,
Because I want to rub it awhile. CHORUS

“Wait a minute, Doc; that’s the very spot,
And I hope you will get it before it rots.”
“Yes, my lady, that’s the very spot,
And the tool to get it I’m sure I’ve got. CHORUS

“Wait a minute, Doc; I will have to shout,
Because it hurts so good; don’t pull it out.”
“Yes, my lady, I know it feels good,
But it pleases me to do you good. CHORUS

“Oh, my gosh, and great gee whiz!
Can’t you let it be just like it is?”
“Yes, my lady, I can let it be,
But it’ll give you trouble, don’t you see? CHORUS

“Go ahead, Doc and do your stuff.
It done hurt me long enough.”
“Yes, my lady, to tell the truth,
I done pulled that doggone tooth.

CHORUS: “Now it won’t hurt no more.
Now it won’t hurt no more.” REPEAT
