SISTER MORPHINE

(Jagger/Richards/Marianne Faithful)

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 I'm not that strong

The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears

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

Ah, can't you see, sister morphine, I'm trying to score

Well it just goes to show

Things are not what they seem

Please, sister morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams

Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast?

And that this shot will be my last

Sweet cousin cocaine, lay your cool cool hand on my head

Ah, come on, sister morphine, you better make up my bed

'Cause you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead

Yeah, and you can sit around, yeah and you can watch all the

Clean white sheets stained red.

Some info from Songfacts:

Marianne Faithfull recorded this during The Stones' "Let It Bleed" sessions (she was Mick Jagger's girlfriend at the time). Her version was released in 1969.

The Stones recorded this in 1968 (it is from the "Beggars Banquet" sessions), but their version was not released until 1971.

Ry Cooder played the bottleneck guitar on this track. He was filling in for the drug-addled Brian Jones, who died before this song was released, but after it was written.

Some of the lyrics were inspired by the time Anita Pallenberg, Keith's girlfriend (before that she was Brian's girlfriend), was hospitalized and given morphine.
