St. James Infirmary Lyrics - Singles - Josh White

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 crapshooters to be my pallbearers 

3 pretty women to sing a song 

Stick a jazz band on my hearse wagon 

Raise hell 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..
