I went down down to St James infirmary

Saw my baby laying there

She was stretched out stretched out on a long white table

So sweet so cool so fair

Let her golet 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

Bury me in a boxback coat and a stetson hat

Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain

So the boys will know that I died standing pat

Give me six six crap shooting pallbearers

Let a chorus girl sing me a song

Put a red hot jazz band at the top of my head

So we can raise hallelujah as we go along

Now folks now that you have heard my story

Now that you have heard my song

Say bartender give me another shot of that booze

Cause I got those St James Infirmary blues
