St. James Infirmary lyrics

(I, yeah, yeah)

I, yeah, yeah

I went down to St. James Infirmary

Saw my baby there...

She was stretched out on a long, white table

So cold, so sweet, so fair

Let her go! let her go! God bless her!

Wherever she may be...

She can look this wide world over,

But she'll never find a sweet man like me, (heh-heh)...bragging

When I die bury me in straight-laced shoes,

I want a box-back coat and a Stetson hat, John B., that is...

Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain

So the boys will know that I died standing pat
