Went down to St. James Infirmary

I saw my baby there

Stretched out on a long white table

So cold, so sweet, so fair

Let her go, let her go, God bless her

Wherever she may be

She can look this wide world over

She'll never find another sweet man like me

Though she treated me mean and lowdown

Somehow I didn't care

But the Lord knows she was a good girl

And I'll see her again up there

Now when I die, I want you to bury me in Edmond Claps shoes

A box back suit and a Stetson hat

Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain

So the boys'll know I died standing pat
