[00:28.49] It was down by old Joe's barroom on the corner of the square
[00:38.49] They were serving drinks as usual and the usual crowd was there
[00:48.09] On my left stood Big Joe McKennedy and his eyes were bloodshot red
[00:55.02] And he turned his face to the people these were the very words he said
[01:07.39] I was down to St James infirmary I saw my baby there
[01:14.15] She was stretched out on a long white table
[01:21.91] So sweet cool and so fair
[01:27.19] Let her go let her go God bless her
[01:31.91] Wherever she may be
[01:36.47] She may search this whole wide world over
[01:41.43] Never find a sweeter man as me
[01:46.82] When I die please bury me in my high top Stetson hat
[01:53.38] Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
[01:58.02] The gang'll know I died standing pat
[02:00.29] Let her go let her go God bless her
[02:03.07] Wherever she may be
[02:04.74] She may search this wide world over
[02:06.63] Never find a sweeter man as me
[02:08.08] I want six crapshooters to be my pallbearers
[02:12.02] Three pretty women to sing a song
[02:16.68] Stick a jazz band on my hearse wagon
[02:20.02] Raise hell as I stroll along
[02:45.51] Let her go Let her go
[02:49.22] God bless her
[02:53.57] Wherever she may be
[02:55.77] She may search this whole wide
[02:57.09] World over
[02:58.13] She'll never find a sweeter
[03:00.85] Man as me
