Must be that bad dream
Still holds my head so tightly
It’s all upon me
Like a snake wrapped ’round, coiled on my body
People laugh and joking
Mom thinks I’ve still quit smoking
Keep checking their watches
Until we make our way to the registry office
So here I lie, Nurse am I sick here in this hospital bed?
I wouldn’t mind but today I’m meant to marry Madeline
I’ve got doubts that come on
I don’t doubt that I love that woman
All eyes are on me
She deserves much better than a scamp like me
So I start some drinking
I need a bottle to do my thinking
And after Breakfast, it don’t take too much to get some sickness
So here I lie, Nurse am I sick here in this hospital bed?
I wouldn’t mind but today I’m meant to marry Madeline
So here I lie, Nurse am I sick here in this hospital bed?
I wouldn’t mind but today I’m meant to marry
Oh pretty sweet Madeline all alone
Oh you’re so sweet Madeline, on your own
Today I’m meant to marry Madeline
Call for the doctor
Asked him what he thought was the problem
He said that there ain’t one
You just ran away from a girl that loved you
So here I lie, Nurse am I sick here in this hospital bed?
I wouldn’t mind but today I’m meant to marry Madeline
So here I lie, Nurse am I sick here in this hospital bed?
I wouldn’t mind but today I’m meant to marry
Oh pretty sweet Madeline all alone
Oh you’re so sweet Madeline, on your own
Today I’m meant to marry
Today I’m meant to marry
Today I’m meant to marry Madeline
