St. James Infirmary

歌詞

When will I ever stop moanin? When will I ever smile? My baby went and left me, she'll be gone a long, long while. I feel so blue and heartbroken, what am I livin' for? My baby went and left me, never to come back no more. So I went down to that St James Infirmary, I heard my baby groan.I felt so brokenhearted. Baby used to be my own. I tried to keep from cryin', my hart felt just like lead. She was all I had to live for,I wish that it was me instead. I went down to old St. James Infirmary, all was still as night. My gal stretched out on a cool, white table, so cold, so pale, so white. Though she treated me mean and lowdown, somehow I didn't care. My soul is sick and weary, I hope we meet again up there. Let her go, let her go, God bless her, wherever she may be. She could look this wide world over,but she'll never find a sweet Man like me. When I die I want you to dress me in straight-laced shoes. A box-backed coat with a Stetson hat. Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain, So the boys'll know I died stand-in' pat. I'll play these.
