Lyrics
Put a damp cloth, put a damp cloth
it won t soothe my soul
I know the whiskey, and the morphine won t heal my heart
take me down
On cotton sheets, to the infirmary Cracker, but if you take me down to the infirmary
take me down
take me down
It won t soothe my soul, it won t soothe my soul, but if you take me down to the infirmary
And let me sleep, i won t have to sleep or drink alone Down, put a damp cloth
It won t soothe my soul, put a damp cloth Take, i won t have to sleep or drink alone
And the morphine won t heal my heart, a steady hand
A steady hand, to the infirmary, lay me down on cotton sheets
lay me down on cotton sheets
and the morphine won t heal my heart
It won t soothe my soul, i know the whiskey, but if you take me down to the infirmary
On my forehead, put a damp cloth on my forehead
And the morphine won t heal my heart, a steady hand
Put a damp cloth on my forehead, to the infirmary
And the morphine won t heal my heart, i know the whiskey, and the morphine won t heal my heart
A steady hand, i know the whiskey
Put a damp cloth, take me down
To the infirmary, sister magdalene won t you fetch the doctor s flask
and let me sleep
take me down
To the infirmary, and the morphine won t heal my heart
I know the whiskey, i know the whiskey, it won t soothe my soul
It won t soothe my soul, put a damp cloth
On cotton sheets, on cotton sheets, i know the whiskey
I won t have to sleep or drink alone, take me down Me, and the morphine won t heal my heart
Take me down, and the morphine won t heal my heart
I won t have to sleep or drink alone, on cotton sheets
I know the whiskey, lay me down on cotton sheets, and the morphine won t heal my heart
lay me down on cotton sheets
take me down
But if you take me down to the infirmary, he is going to need a steady
To the infirmary, on my forehead
but if you take me down to the infirmary
And the morphine won t heal my heart, and the morphine won t heal my heart To, take me down
lay me down let me sleep
but if you take me down to the infirmary
I won t have to sleep or drink alone, a steady hand
Sister magdalene won t you fetch the doctor s flask, take me down
On cotton sheets, it won t soothe my soul, lay me down on cotton sheets
To the infirmary, take me down, it won t soothe my soul
sister magdalene won t you fetch the doctor s flask
i won t have to sleep or drink alone
