St. James Infirmary (ver. 1)

St. James Infirmary (ver. 1) - Cab Calloway (凯伯·凯洛威)

Folks I＇m goin＇ down to St James Infirmary

See my baby there;

She＇s stretched out on a long white table

She＇s so sweet so cold so fair

Let her go let her go God bless her

Wherever she may be

She will search this wide world over

But she＇ll

Never find another sweet man like me

Now when I die bury

Me in 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

An＇ 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

Tell ＇em I＇ve

Got those St James Infirmary blues
