| I went down to that St. James infirmary |
| I heard sweet baby groan |
| Nobody down there could cheer me |
| 'Cause I know that she’d soon be gone |
| As I was standing there a grievin |
| My heart feeling just like lead |
| Knowing she’d soon be leavin |
| Wishing it was me instead |
| I went out to Old Joe’s bar room |
| Most of my friends were there |
| But nobody seemed to understand my trouble |
| I tell you, nobody seemed to care |
| And when i got back to that St. James infirmary |
| All was still as night |
| Sweet baby layed on that long long table |
| She was pale, so cold and white |
| And when I put my hand on her pretty face |
| It was cold like marble stone |
| And I know that no woman could ever take her place |
| Lord it made me feel so alone |
| She’s gone, yes she’s gone God bless her |
| Whereever she might be |
| If she’d searched this whole world over |
| She wouldn’t have found a friend as good as me |
| I went down to that St. James infirmary |
| Heard my sweet baby groan |
| Nobody down there could cheer me |
| 'Cause I know that she’d soon be gone |
