I went down to St. James Infirmary
to see my baby there.
She was stretched down on a long white table,
so sweet,so cold, so bare.
Let her go, let her go, God bless her.
Wherever she may be,
She can search this whole wide world over,
She will never gonna find another man like me.
When I die bury me I want you to dress me in straight-laced shoes
Box-back coat and a Stetson hat
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain and
Let my fellows know that I died standin' pat.
