I went down to St. James Infirmary I saw my baby there She was 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 dressed me in straight lace shoes I wanna Boxback coat and a Stetson hat Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain So the boys will know that I died standin' back
