St. James Infirmary Blues

I went down to st james infirmary

To see my baby there

She was stretched out on a cold white table

So sweet...so lean...and so fair



Let her go...let her go...god bless her

Wherever she may be

She can search the whole wide world

But she'll never find another man like me



When I die you can bury me in plain lace shoes

Stetson with a twenty dollar hat

And put a thirty dollar gold piece on my watch chain

And let the fellas know that I died standing pat



I went down to st james infirmary

And I stole my baby back

She was stretched out on a long white table

So sweet...so cold...and so fair
