Take Me Down To The Infirmary Lyrics

Artist: Cracker
Album: Kerosene Hat

(intro:F-Bb-F) F-C-Dm-F-Bb-G#-F-C-F-Bb-F
C-(C#)-Dm-F-Bb-Dm-C-Dm-Bb-F-Bb-F (ending: Bb-F-Bb-F)

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
