Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They call me that lovin' man
Oh, they call me Doctor Brown
They call me that lovin' man
And if you got some trouble
Come around and see what you can
You don't have no prescription
You don't have no prescription
And baby don't have to take no pills
If you come to see me
Doctor Brown will cure your ills
Oh ask any woman in my neighborhood
You just ask any woman in my neighborhood
You just ask any woman
In my neighborhood
You just ask any woman
In my neighborhood
If Doctor Brown don't cure you
Nobody can do you no good
Yes, you don't have no prescription
And baby you don't have to take no pills
You don't have no prescription
And baby you don't have to take no pills
You just come around to see me
And Doctor Brown will cure your ills
The lyrics to Peter Green and Mick Green’s song, “Doctor Brown,” are about a man who is known for his healing powers. He is called “Doctor Brown” because he is a “lovin’ man” who can cure any ailment without the need for pills or prescriptions. The song is an invitation to anyone with troubles to come see him and experience his healing abilities. The repetition of the idea that “Doctor Brown will cure your ills” emphasizes his powers as a healer.
The song has a bluesy feel with its repeated lines and chord progression. The lyrics have a double entendre, as “Doctor Brown” can be interpreted as both a healer and a lover. The woman in the neighborhood are familiar with both sides of his persona and can attest to his abilities. There is a sense of playfulness in the lyrics, especially when Doctor Brown says that if he can’t cure them, nobody can.
