Saint James Infirmary

(Instrumental & horn intro)



(Ah, ah, ah)

(Ah, ah, ah)



I went down to Saint James Infirmary

For to see, for to see my baby there

Man, she was laid out on a long white table

She was so cold, an' so pure, an' so fair



Let her go, let her go, God bless her

Wherever she might be

Yeah, you can search this whole

Search this whole wide world over

But she ain't never gonna find

Another lover man like me



When I die

I want you to dress me in straight-lace shoes

I want a boxback coat and a Stetson hat

I wanna twenty dollar gold piece, on my watch chain

So ev'rybody gonna know that I died standin' pat!



(Ah, ah, ah)

(Ah, ah, ah)



(Instrumental & horns to end)
