I went down to St James infirmary
And I saw my baby there
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 shell never find another sweet man like me
When I die want you to bury me in Edmond Club 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 pat
Yeah, she was mean and evil
It was more than I could bear
But after all she was a real real good girl
And I'll see her again up there
