Lyrics

I went down to St. James Infirmary
To see my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table
So sweet, so cool, so fair
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can look this whole wide world over
And never find another man like me
When I die, you could bury me (and then perhaps you?)
(indescribable) with a twenty dollar hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece in my pocket
And let the fellas know I died standin' pat
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can look this whole wide world over
And never find another man like me
