St. James Infirmary

St. James Infirmary - King Oliver & His Orchestra

I went down to St James infirmary

Saw my baby there

Stretched out on a long white table

So sweet so cool 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-leg shoes

Boxback coat and a Stetson hat

Put a Twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain

So the boys'll know I died standing pat
