St. James Infirmary Lyrics

I went down to St. James Infirmary
I saw my baby there
She was streched 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
When I die, bury me in straight lace shoes
A box back coat and a Stetson hat;
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys know I died standin' pat

Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She may search this wide world over
But she'll never find a sweet man like me
