St. James Infirmary |
| I feel so blue |
| And i feel heart broken |
| What am I living for |
| My baby she went away… and she left me |
| No no no never… to come back |
| No no no more |
| I went down to St. James Infirmary |
| I heard my baby moan |
| I felt so broken hearted |
| She used to be my own |
| I tried so hard to keep from crying |
| My heart felt just like lead |
| She was all I had to live for |
| Oh, I wish it was me instead |
| I went down to St James infirmary |
| And I saw my baby there |
| Stretched out on a long, long, long white table |
| So sweet… so cold… so fair |
| Let her go… let her go… God bless her |
| Wherever she may be |
| She can search this wide world over |
| But shell never find a sweet man like me |
| When I die want you to dress me in straight-leg shoes |
| I wanna a boxback coat and a stetson hat |
| Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain |
| So all the boys’ll know that I died standing pat |
| St James Infirmary let my baby go, let my baby go |
