St. James Infirmary

歌詞

It was down by old Joe's bar room On the corner of the square They were serving drinks as usual And the usual crowd was there On my left stood big Joe McKennedy And his eyes were bloodshot red And he turned his face to the people These were the very words he said I was down to St. James Infirmary I saw my baby there, She was stretched out on a long white table So sweet, cool, and so fair Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She may search this whole wide world over Never find another sweet man as me When I die, please bury me In my high top Stetson hat Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain The gang'll know I died standin' pat Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She may search this whole wide world over Never find a sweeter man as me I want six crap shooters be my pall bearer Three pretty women to sing a song Stick a jazz band on my hearse wagon Raise Hell as I stroll along Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She may search this whole wide world over She'll never find a sweeter man as me
