St. James Infirmary

I went down to St. James infirmary

I saw my baby there

He was stretched out on a long, white table

So sweet, so cold, and so bare

Let him go, let him go, god bless him

Wherever he may be

He can search this whole wide world over

But he'll never find another sweet gal like me

When I die, bury me in my straight-leg boots

Put on a box-back coat and a Stetson hat

Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain

So all the other gals know I died standing pat

Let him go, let him go, god bless him

Wherever he may be

You can search this whole wide world over

But you'll never find another sweet gal like me

But I went down to St. James Infirmary

I saw my baby there

She was stretched out on that long, white table

So sweet, so cold, and so bare

Let her go, let her go, god bless her

Wherever she may be

She can search this whole wide world over

You won't find a boy like me
