Lyrics

I went down to St. James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
He was stretched out on a long white table
So cold so sweet so fair
So cold so sweet so fair
Let him go let him go God bless him
Wherever he may be
He will search this wide world over
Never find a sweet girl like me
Never find a sweet girl like me
When I die bury me in straight laced heals
A five dollar Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So boys know I died standing phat
So boys know I died standing phat
I went down to St. James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
He was stretched out on a long white table
So cold so sweet so fair
So cold so sweet so fair
