St. James Infirmary |
| Well, folks, I’m goin' down to St. James Infirmary |
| See my little baby there |
| She’s stretched out on a long, white table |
| Well, she looks so good, so cold, so fair |
| Let her go, let her go, God bless her |
| Wherever she may be |
| You may search this whole wide world over |
| But you’ll never find another sweetheart like me, yeah |
| Take apart your bones and put 'em back together |
| Tell your mama that you’re somebody new |
| Feel the breeze blowin', tell 'em all «Look out, here it comes» |
| Now I can say whatever I feel like to you |
| Then get me six craps-shootin' pallbearers |
| Let a chorus girl sing me a song |
| Put a red-hot jazz band at the top so that we can raise |
| Hallelujah as we go along, well |
| Well, folks, now that you have heard my story |
| Say, boy, hand me another shot of that rye |
| And if anyone else should ask you |
| Just tell 'em I’ve got some of those St. James Infirmary blues |
