Take me down to the infirmary Letra

on cotton sheets
Put a damp cloth
on my forehead
lay me down
and let me sleep

I know the whiskey won't soothe my soul
and the morphine won't heal my heart,
but if you take me down to the infirmary, oh yeah,
I won't have to sleep or drink alone

So, take me down
to the infirmary
The Walker Sound's as blue as her eyes
Oh, sister Magdelene won't you fetch the doctor's flask?.
He is going to need a steady (need a steady)
a steady hand

I know the whiskey it won't soothe my soul
and the morphine won't heal my heart
but if you take me down to the infirmary, oh yeah,
I won't have to sleep or drink alone.

So, take me down
to the infirmary
lay me down on cotton sheets
put a damp cloth on my forehead
and lay me down, let me sleep
lay me down, let me sleep.
