Song | St James Infirmary |
Artist | Louis Armstrong |
Album | Uncut Magazine - 2009.06 - Greetings From The Boss! |
I went down to St.James Infirmary | |
Saw my baby there | |
Sat down on a long white table | |
So sweet, so cold, so fair | |
Let her go, let her go, God bless her | |
Wherever she may be | |
She can look this wide world over | |
She'll never find a sweet man like me | |
When I die I want you to dress me in straight lace shoes | |
Boxback coat and a Stetson hat | |
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain | |
So the boys’ll know that I died standin' pat |
