St. James Infirmary

St. James Infirmary - Jack Teagarden

Oh I went down to the st james infirmary

Saw my baby there

Oh stretched out on a long white table

So sweet so cold so fair

Oh let her go let her go

God bless her

Wherever she may be

She can look this wide world over

But shell never

Find a sweet man like me

Oh when I die I want you

To dress me in straight lace shoes

And a stetson hat

Put a twenty dollar gold piece

On my watch chain

So the boysll know that

I died standing pat
