Take Me Down To The Infirmary lyrics


(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
