I went down to St. James Infirmary.
Saw my baby there.
She was streched out on a long white table,
So cold, so sweet, so sweet , so fair.
Let her go, let her go, God bless her.
Wherever she may be.
She can search this whole wide world over,
She won't ever find an other man like me.
When I die, bury me in straight laced shoes.
A box back suit and a Stetson hat.
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain,
So the boys will know I died standin' pat.
