St. James' Infirmary |
It was down by old Joe’s barroom, on the corner of the square |
They were serving drinks as usual, and the usual crowd was there |
On my left stood Big Joe McKennedy, and his eyes were bloodshot red |
And he turned his face to the people, these were the very words he said |
I was down to St. James infirmary, I saw my baby there |
She was stretched out on a long white table |
So sweet, cool and so fair |
Let her go, let her go, God bless her |
Wherever she may be |
She may search this whole wide world over |
Never find a sweeter man as me |
When I die please bury me in my high top Stetson hat |
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain |
The gang’ll know I died standing pat |
Let her go, let her go God bless her |
Wherever she may be |
She may search this wide world over |
Never find a sweeter man as me |
I want six crapshooters to be my pallbearers |
Three pretty women to sing a song |
Stick a jazz band on my hearse wagon |
Raise hell as I stroll along |
Let her go Let her go |
God bless her |
Wherever she may be |
She may search this whole wide |
World over |
She’ll never find a sweeter |
Man as me |
