|
I feel so blue |
|
And i feel heart broken |
|
What am I living for |
|
My baby she went away... and she left me |
|
No no no never...to come back |
|
No no no more |
|
I went down to St. James Infirmary |
|
I heard my baby moan. |
|
I felt so broken hearted. |
|
She used to be my own. |
|
I tried so hard to keep from crying. |
|
My heart felt just like lead. |
|
She was all I had to live for. |
|
Oh, I wish it was me instead. |
|
I went down to St James infirmary |
|
And I saw my baby there |
|
Stretched out on a long, long, long white table |
|
So sweet... so cold... so fair |
|
Let her go... let her go... God bless her |
|
Wherever she may be |
|
She can search this wide world over |
|
But shell never find a sweet man like me |
|
When I die want you to dress me in straight-leg shoes |
|
I wanna a boxback coat and a stetson hat |
|
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain |
|
So all the boys'll know that I died standing pat |
|
St James Infirmary let my baby go, let my baby go |
