The Cure

Here is a true story about my beloved husband Bob and his gall bladder. He has given me permission to write this song. In the essence of decency I have not added a third verse about the follow up treatment. I sound as if I have a speech impediment as it was recorded on the old powershot canon camera in the porch .Played on my Tanglewood Tenor. The words and tune are my own. Designed to entertain not educate. Enjoy. THE CURE – A WEE TALE ABOUT MY HUSBANDS ADVENTURE WITH HIS GALL BLADDER – SHIRLEY C CHORUS - VINEGAR, OIL AND EPSOM SALTS WILL BRING POSITIVE RESULTS ITS GOOD FOR THE BONES AND GETS RID OF GALL STONES. – OR SO THEY SAY NOW MY HUSBAND BOBS QUITE INDEPENDENT – NOT STUBBORN THOUGH HE’S VERY RESOLUTE HE PREFERS NATURAL CURES TO COVENTIONAL MEDICINE – AND DR YOU TUBE IS A SOURCE OF GOOD REPUTE SO WHEN HE HAD BAD PAIN BENEATH HIS RIB CAGE – THE YOU TUBE DOC CONFIRMED IT WAS GALL STONES BUT THIS MALADY COULD PASS IF HE DRANK THIS MIXTURE BY THE GLASS – ITS ALSO GOOD AT STRENGTHENING THE BONES. CHORUS - VINEGAR, OIL AND EPSOM SALTS WILL BRING POSITIVE RESULTS ITS GOOD FOR THE BONES AND GETS RID OF GALL STONES. – OR SO THEY SAY FOR SEVERAL DAYS HE DRANK THIS STRANGE CONCOCTION – THEN THINGS GOT MOVING WITH A SIGN OF HOPE AND MUCH TO HIS WIFES DISTAIN HE NEARLY BROKE THE PORCELAIN – AND PASSED WHAT LOOKED LIKE CHUNKS OF COAL TAR SOAP. THEY SHOT OUT FROM HIS BACKSIDE JUST LIKE BULLETS – IT SOUNDED LIKE A HOWITZER MACHINE ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK FOLLOWED BY SIGHS AND GROANING – AT LEAST FOR HOW HIS INSIDES WERE ALL CLEAN. CHORUS - VINEGAR, OIL AND EPSOM SALTS WILL BRING POSITIVE RESULTS ITS GOOD FOR THE BONES AND GETS RID OF GALL STONES. – OR SO THEY SAY THEN FINALLY HE WENT AND SAW HIS DOCTOR –MAYBE BECAUSE HIS LOVELY WIFE INSISTED STONES GONE BUT THERE ARE GROWTHS IN HIS GALL BLADDER WHICH THEY WANTED TO REMOVE BUT BOB RESISTED…… FOR NOW.
