Lyrics

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
