St. James' Infirmary |
When will I ever stop moanin? |
When will I ever smile? |
My baby went and left me, she’ll be gone a long, long while |
I feel so blue and heartbroken, what am I livin' for? |
My baby went and left me, never to come back no more |
So I went down to that St James Infirmary |
I heard my baby groan. |
I felt so brokenhearted |
Baby used to be my own |
I tried to keep from cryin', my hart felt just like lead |
She was all I had to live for, I wish that it was me instead |
I went down to old St. James Infirmary, all was still as night |
My gal stretched out on a cool, white table, so cold, so pale, so white |
Though she treated me mean and lowdown, somehow I didn’t care |
My soul is sick and weary, I hope we meet again up there |
Let her go, let her go, God bless her, wherever she may be |
She could look this wide world over, but she’ll never find a sweet |
Man like me |
When I die I want you to dress me in straight-laced shoes |
A box-backed coat with a Stetson hat |
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain |
So the boys’ll know I died stand-in' pat |
I’ll play these |
