St. James Infirmary

St. James Infirmary - Rube Bloom and His Bayou Boys

I went down to St James Infirmary

Saw my baby there

Stretched out on a long white table

So sweet so cold so fair

Oh let her go oh let her go god bless her

Wherever she may be

She can look this wide world over

She will never find a sweet man like me

When I die won't you to

Drive me in straight laced shoes

Box backed cold and a Stetson hat

Put a 20 dollar gold piece on my watch chain

So the boys'll know that I died standing pat
