Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I went down to Saint James Infirmary

And I saw my baby there

Stretched out on a long, white table, yeah

So sweet, so calm, so fair

[Verse 2]

Let her go, let her go, God, bless her, yeah

Wherever she may be

She can search this wide world over, yeah

She's never ever gonna find another

Sharp dressin' piano playin' man like me

[Verse 3]

Well, folks, this is the end of my story

And if anyone should ever ask you, mmm

Just go on ahead and tell them

That I had the Saint James Infirmary blues
