St James Infirmary

I went down to St.James Infirmary



Saw my baby there



Sat down 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 lace shoes



Boxback coat and a Stetson hat



Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain



So the boys'll know that I died standin' pat
