St. James' Infirmary Lyrics
Folks I'm going down to St. James Infirmary
See my baby there
She's stretched out on a long white table
She's so sweet, so cold, so fair
Let her go let her go
Oh bless her
Wherever she may be
She will search this wide world over
But she never find a another sweet man like me
Now when I die
Bury me my in my straight leg britches
Put on a box back coat and a stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat
And give me six crap shootin' pall bearers
Let a chorus girl sing me a song
Put a red hot jazz band at the top of my head
So we can raise hallelujah as we go along
Folks now that you have heard my story
Say boy hand me over another shot of that booze
If anyone should ask you
Tell them I got those St. James Infirmary Blues
See my baby there
She's stretched out on a long white table
She's so sweet, so cold, so fair
Oh bless her
Wherever she may be
She will search this wide world over
But she never find a another sweet man like me
Bury me my in my straight leg britches
Put on a box back coat and a stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat
Let a chorus girl sing me a song
Put a red hot jazz band at the top of my head
So we can raise hallelujah as we go along
Say boy hand me over another shot of that booze
If anyone should ask you
Tell them I got those St. James Infirmary Blues
