Lyrics St. James Infirmary - James Booker

St. James Infirmary

I went down to St. James Infirmary
I heard my baby cry
I was so brokenhearted
She was gone somewhere
In the bye and bye
Tried so hard to keep from crying
My tears they fell like lead
She was all I had to live for
It could have been someone else instead
She’s gone let’s just say they’re gonna bless her
Wherever she may be
She could have searched the wide world over
She wouldn’t have found another man like me
She couldn’t have found another man like me
