I went down to the St. James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long, white tableSo cool, 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 another man like me
When I die, bury me a straight laced shoes
A box backed suit and a Stetson hat
Put 20 dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys'll know I died standin′ pat
