Bethesda Hospital
Lyrics: Maureen S. O'Brien, 3/27/99
Music:  ttto "St. James Infirmary", American trad.

I woke up in Bethesda Hospital
And Sarah Mackenzie was there
And her face was as full of worry
As her eyes are as dark as her hair.

And I asked her just what had happened
'Cause my mind seemed to be in a haze,
She said, "You were knocked out." I said, "How long?"
And then Sarah said, "Eighteen days."

Then I asked, "Now where are the others?"
And this is what she did say:
"Once Harriet plunged off a clifftop,
In this world Bud didn't have long to stay."

We went down to Arlington Cemetery
Some in uniform, some dressed in black
We went down with two flag-draped coffins
And we were two less friends coming back

You're alive, you're alive, God bless you,
Was the next thing Sarah did say,
But with the kind of luck we've been having,
I bet neither of us stay that way.

I woke up in Bethesda Hospital
To a world full of grief and despair.
And if anyone asks you who did it,
Just tell 'em, I blame JAGClaire.
