St. James Infirmary Lyrics

Went down to St. James infirmary, saw my baby there
Stretched out on a long white table
So sweet, so cold so fair

Let her go, let her go, may God bless her
For she's mine wherever she may be
She can ramble this wide world over
Never find another man like me

When I die I want you to bury me
Box back coat and a Stetson hat
Hang a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys know I died standing pat

Let her go, let her go, may God bless her
For she's mine wherever she may be
She can ramble this wide world over
Never find another man like me

Seven chorus girls went to the graveyard
In an old rubber tired hat
Seven chorus girls went to the graveyard
Only six chorus girls came riding back

Let her go, let her go, may God bless her
For she's mine wherever she may be
She can ramble this wide world over
Never find another man like me
