St.James Infirmary |
| It was down by old Joe’s barroom, on the corner of the square |
| They were serving drinks as usual, and the usual crowd was there |
| On my left stood Big Joe McKennedy, and his eyes were bloodshot red |
| And he turned his face to the people, these were the very words he said |
| I was down to St. James infirmary, I saw my baby there |
| She was stretched out on a long white table |
| So sweet, cool and so fair |
| Let her go, let her go, God bless her |
| Wherever she may be |
| She may search this whole wide world over |
| Never find a sweeter man as me |
| When I die please bury me in my high top Stetson hat |
| Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain |
| The gang’ll know I died standing pat |
| Let her go, let her go God bless her |
| Wherever she may be |
| She may search this wide world over |
| Never find a sweeter man as me |
| I want six crapshooters to be my pallbearers |
| Three pretty women to sing a song |
| Stick a jazz band on my hearse wagon |
| Raise hell as I stroll along |
| Let her go Let her go |
| God bless her |
| Wherever she may be |
| She may search this whole wide |
| World over |
| She’ll never find a sweeter |
| Man as me |
