St. James Infirmary

I went down to St. James Infirmary

Saw my baby lyin' there

He was stretched out on a long white table

So sweet, so cold, so fair

Let him go, let him go, God bless him

Wherever he may be

He can look this whole wide world over

And he'll never find a sweet girl like me

When he died I dressed him in straight lace shoes

A box back coat and a Stetson hat

And put a twenty dollar gold piece on his watch chain

So the boys'll know that he died standing pat

Let him go, let him go, God bless him

Wherever he may be

He can look this whole wide world over

And he'll never find a sweet girl like me

When he died I dressed him in straight lace shoes

A box back coat and a Stetson hat

And put a twenty dollar gold piece on his watch chain

So the boys'll know he died standing pat

Let him go, let him go, God bless him

Wherever he may be

He can look this whole wide world over

And he'll never find a sweet girl like me
