St. James Infirmary

St. James Infirmary - Cab Calloway (凱伯·凱洛威)

Written by：Joe Primrose

Folks I'm going down to St James Infirmary

See my baby there;

She's stretched out on a long white table

So sweet so cold so fair

Let it go let it go God bless her

Wherever she may be

She can search this whole wide world over

But she'll never find another sweet man like me

When I die bury my straight-leg britches

Put on a box-back coat and a Stetson hat

Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain

So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat

And give me six crap shooting pall bearers

Let a chorus girl sing me a song

Put a red hot jazz band at the top of my head

So we can raise Hallelujah as we go along

Folks now that you have heard my story

Say boy hand me another shot of that booze;

If anyone should ask you

You just tell them I've got those St James Infirmary blues
