Take Me Down To The Infirmary
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Take me down
To the infirmary
Lay me down
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
I won't have to sleep or drink alone.
So, take me down
To the infirmary
Walk a sound that is as blue as her eyes
Oh, sister magdelene won't you fetch the
Doctor's flask.
He is going to 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
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
Lay me down let me sleep
Lay me down let me sleep
