]I went down to St. James Infirmary To see my baby there She was lying on a long wooden table So weak,so cool,so fair I went up to see the doctor She's very low, he said I went back to see my baby Great God,she's lying there dead I went down old Joe's bar room On the corner of the square They were serving the drinks as usual And the usual crowd was there On my left stood Old Joe McKennedy His eyes were bloodshot red He turned to the crowd who was standing around him And these are the words he said Let her go,let her go,God bless her Wherever she may be She may search the whole world over But she'll never find a man like me When I die would you please bury me In my high top Stetson hat Put a gold piece on my watch chain So they'll know I died standing pat Get six gamblers to carry my coffin And six choir girls to singing a song Stick a jazz band on my horsewagon So they can raise hell as I go along Now that's the end of my story Let's have another round of booze And if anyone should ask you Just tell them I got the St. James Infirmary blues
