Night Nurse
Gregory Isaacs · Republica Do Reggae: Ao Vivo [2005]
Woman tend to the sick
Because there must be something she can do
This heart is broken in two
Tell her it's a case of emergency
There's a patient by the name of *Gregory
Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst
My night nurse, Oh God
Oh the pain is getting worse
I don't want to see no Doc
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
Because there's no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy
My night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst
My night nurse
Oh the pain is getting worse
I'm hurt my love
I don't want to see no Doc
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
Because there 's no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy
Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst
My night nurse
Oh the pain is getting worse
I'm hurt my love
And I'm sure, no, no doctor got a cure
My night nurse
My night nurse
My night nurse
