FolksI m goin down to St. James Infirmary
See my baby there;
She s stretched out on a longwhite table
She s so sweetso coldso fair.

Let her golet her goGod bless her
Wherever she may be
She will search this wide world over
But she ll never find another sweet man like me.

Nowwhen I diebury 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.

Folksnow that you have heard my story
Sayboyhand me another shot of that booze;
If anyone should ask you
Tell em I ve got those St. James Infirmary blues.
