Lyrics

[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
