[Verse 1]

 

I went down to St.James Infirmary

Saw my baby there

She was stretched out on a long, white table

So cold, so sweet, so fair

 

 

[Verse 2]

 

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

 

 

[Verse 3]

 

When I die bury me in strait laced shoes,

I want a 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' pat
