Folks I ' m goin ' down
To St James Infirmary
See my baby there;
She ' s stretched out
On a long white table
She ' s so sweet
So cold so fair
Let her go let her go
God bless her
Wherever she may be
She will search this wide world over
But she ' ll never find
Another sweet man like me
Now when I die bury me
In my straight-leg britches
Put on a box-back
Coat and a stetson hat
Put a twenty-dollar gold
Piece on my watch chain
So you can let all the boys
Know I died standing pat
Folks now that you
Have heard my story
Say boy hand me
Another shot of that booze;
If anyone should ask you
Tell ' em I ' ve got those
St James Infirmary blues
