Sister Morphine (1969 Version)
Here I lie in my hospital bed
Tell me, Sister Morphine
When are you coming round again?
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long
Oh, you see that my pain is so strong
All the other patients
Say they've never seen a man with such pain
Tell me, Sister Morphine
When are you coming round again?
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long
Oh, you see that I'm not that strong
The scream of the ambulance
Is sounding in my ears
So tell me, Sister Morphine
How long have I been lying here?
What am I doing in this place?
Why does the doctor have no face?
Oh, I can't crawl across the floor
Can't you see, Sister Morphine
I'm just trying to score
Well, it just goes to show
Things are not what they seem
Please, Sister Morphine
Turn my nightmare into dreams
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast
And that this shot will be the last
Please, Cousin Cocaine
Lay your cool hands on my head
Hey, Sister Morphine
You'd better make up my bed
Boy if you know and I know
In the morning I'll be dead
And you can sit around and you can watch
The clean white sheets stained red
Tell me, Sister Morphine
When are you coming round again?
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long
Oh, you see that my pain is so strong
All the other patients
Say they've never seen a man with such pain
Tell me, Sister Morphine
When are you coming round again?
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long
Oh, you see that I'm not that strong
The scream of the ambulance
Is sounding in my ears
So tell me, Sister Morphine
How long have I been lying here?
What am I doing in this place?
Why does the doctor have no face?
Oh, I can't crawl across the floor
Can't you see, Sister Morphine
I'm just trying to score
Well, it just goes to show
Things are not what they seem
Please, Sister Morphine
Turn my nightmare into dreams
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast
And that this shot will be the last
Please, Cousin Cocaine
Lay your cool hands on my head
Hey, Sister Morphine
You'd better make up my bed
Boy if you know and I know
In the morning I'll be dead
And you can sit around and you can watch
The clean white sheets stained red
