st. james infirmary - josh white lyrics

it was down by old joe’s barroom, on the corner of the square
they were serving drinks as usual, and the usual crowd was there
on my left stood big joe mckennedy, and his eyes were bloodshot red
and he turned his face to the people, these were the very words he said
i was down to st. james infirmary, i saw my baby there
she was stretched out on a long white table,
so sweet, cool and so fair
let her go, let her go, god bless her
wherever she may be…
she may search this whole wide world over
never find a sweeter man as me…
when i die please bury me in my high top stetson hat
put a 20 dollar gold piece on my watch chain
the gang’ll know i died standing pat

let her go, let her go god bless her
wherever she may be
she may search this wide world over
never find a sweeter man as me
i want 6 cr-pshooters to be my pallbearers
3 pretty women to sing a song
stick a jazz band on my he-rs- wagon
raise h-ll as i stroll along
let her go let her go
god bless her
wherever she may be
she may search this whole wide
world over
she’ll never find a sweeter
man as me.
