Night Nurse Lyrics
Tell her try your best jest to make it quick
Whom attend to the sick
'Cause 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 Jah thirst
My night nurse, oh gosh
Oh the pain it's getting worse
I don't wanna see no doc
I need attendence from my nurse around the clock
'Cause there's no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy
Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this Jah thirst
My night nurse
Oh the pain it's getting worse
I hurt my love
I don't wanna see no doc
I need attendence from my nurse around the clock
'Cause there's no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy
Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this Jah thirst
My night nurse
Oh the pain it's getting worse
I hurt my love
And I'm sure No doctor can cure
Night nurse Night nurse
Whom attend to the sick
'Cause 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
Only you alone can quench this Jah thirst
My night nurse, oh gosh
Oh the pain it's getting worse
I don't wanna see no doc
I need attendence from my nurse around the clock
She's the one, the only remedy
Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this Jah thirst
My night nurse
Oh the pain it's getting worse
I hurt my love
I don't wanna see no doc
I need attendence from my nurse around the clock
'Cause there's no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy
Only you alone can quench this Jah thirst
My night nurse
Oh the pain it's getting worse
I hurt my love
And I'm sure No doctor can cure

Gregory Isaacs is di man, ya. Gotta love dem roots yo. He's simply stating that she's his remedy fi love. Great lyrics
Similar sentiments to Marvin Gaye's sexual healing! Gregory sings so smooth! Love this song!
The more I listen to this song over the years, I take it as a love song to alcoholism. It is lovely, and his voice is simply amazing.
Metaphor for the soothing effect that results from the use of the users drug of choice. In Gregory's case CANNABIS is his night nurse.
@greenwichpark made an account just to tell you that you're wrong regarding CANNABIS being his night nurse, it's well known Gregory Isaac had a problem with cocaine, google it yourself.

Cannabis "addiction" doesn't cause pain if you go without it.

@greenwichpark You're right about it being a metaphor, but night nurse is Cocaine, he was addicted to crack cocaine hence the song night nurse and Hard drugs

Such a lovely song sung by the amazing Gregory Isaacs. Only the woman he loves can heal his broken heart. It is easy to underestimate how clever these lyrics are.
