Saint James Infirmary Lyrics

Saint James Infirmary lyrics

I went down to the St James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
She stretched out
on a long white table
So cold, so sweet, so fair

Let her go, let her
go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can look this wide world
over
But she'll never find a sweet man like me

When I die want you to
dress me in straight lace shoes
I wanna a boxback coat and a Stetson
hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys'll know
that I died standing flat
