[00:36.22]] | I went down to St. James Infirmary |
[00:41.10] | To see my baby there |
[00:44.71] | She was lying on a long wooden table |
[00:48.65] | So weak,so cool,so fair |
[00:52.79] | I went up to see the doctor |
[00:58.07] | She's very low, he said |
[01:01.14] | I went back to see my baby |
[01:05.82] | Great God,she's lying there dead |
[01:09.38] | I went down old Joe's bar room |
[01:13.86] | On the corner of the square |
[01:17.96] | They were serving the drinks as usual |
[01:22.56] | And the usual crowd was there |
[01:26.52] | On my left stood Old Joe McKennedy |
[01:31.23] | His eyes were bloodshot red |
[01:34.92] | He turned to the crowd who was standing around him |
[01:39.60] | And these are the words he said |
[01:44.41] | Let her go,let her go,God bless her |
[01:48.95] | Wherever she may be |
[01:52.17] | She may search the whole world over |
[01:56.17] | But she'll never find a man like me |
[02:00.91] | When I die would you please bury me |
[02:05.19] | In my high top Stetson hat |
[02:08.95] | Put a gold piece on my watch chain |
[02:13.33] | So they'll know I died standing pat |
[02:17.67] | Get six gamblers to carry my coffin |
[02:21.76] | And six choir girls to singing a song |
[02:26.20] | Stick a jazz band on my horsewagon |
[02:30.32] | So they can raise hell as I go along |
[02:34.77] | Now that's the end of my story |
[02:38.96] | Let's have another round of booze |
[02:43.05] | And if anyone should ask you |
[02:47.24] | Just tell them I got the St. James Infirmary blues |
