I went down

Down to St James Infirmary

Saw my baby in there

She was stretched out

Stretched out on a long white table

So sweet so cool so fair

Let her go let her go God bless her

Wherever she may be

She can search

Search this whole wide world over

But she'll never find

Another sweet man like me

When I die

Put on my straight lace shoes

Wear in the Boxback coat

And a Stetson hat

Put a twenty dollar gold piece

On my watch chain

So the boys

Will know I died standin' back

Give me six

Six crapshooters pallbearers

Little curse girl

Sing me a song
