St. James Infirmary

I went down to St. James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
Stretched out on a long, white table
So sweet, so cold, 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

Box back coat and a stetson hat
Put a 20 dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys'll know that I died standing pat
