lyrics

It was down at Old Joe's bar room

On he Corner of a square

They were serving drinks as usual

and the usual crowd was there


On my left sat big Joe Mckeddie

And his eyes were bloodshot red

And he turned his face to the people

These were the very words he said


CHORUS;

Let her go, let her go, God bless her

Wherever she may be

She may search this whole wide world over

Never find a sweet a man as me


I went down to Saint James' Infirmary

I saw my baby there

She was stretched out on a long white table

So sweet, so cool and so fair


CHORUS


When I die, oh please bury me

In my high top Stetson hat

Put a gold coin on my watch chain

So my Gang will know that I died standing pat


CHORUS


I want the gamblers as my pall bearers

Three pretty women to sing a song

Stick a jazz band on my hearse wagon

Raise hell while I roll along


Well that's the end of my story

So let's have another round of booze

And if anyone should ask you what's wrong with me

I got the Saint James Infirmary Blues


CHORUS
