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

I know the whiskey won't sooth 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
The walker sound is as blue as her eyes
Oh Sister Magdalen won't you fetch the doctor's flask
He's gonna need a steady, steady hand

I know the whiskey won't sooth 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

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

I know the whiskey won't sooth 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
