St. James Infirmary

I went down to the St. James Infirmary



Saw my baby there



She stretched out 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



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 box back 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
