Lyrics

I went down to St. James infirmary
I saw my baby there
She was laid out on a cold white table
So cold so white so fair
  
Let her go let her go God bless her
Wherever she may be
She may search this wide world over
She’ll never find a man like me
When I die, won’t you bury me - bury me
In a high top stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So god knows I died standing pat
I want six crap-shooting pallbearer - he said six
I want the choir to sing me a song
Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon
And raise hell as I move along
Roll out them rubber tired carriages - roll 'em out
Roll out that old time hack - bring 'em too
Twelve men are going to the graveyard
Eleven are coming back
Now that I told you my story
Take another shot of booze - tip your bartender
And if anyone should happen to ask you
You've got them St. James Infirmary blues
