St. James Infirmary Lyrics
I went down to St. James Infirmary
saw my baby there.
She was stretched out on a long, white table.
So calm, so sweet, so sweet, so fair.
Let it go, let it go,
God bless her
Wherever she may be
she can search this whole wide world over
she won't ever find another man like me.
[Laughs]
When I die, bury me in straight lace shoes
a box backed coat and a Stetson hat.
put 20 dollar gold piece on my watch chain,
So the boys'll know that I died standing pat.
