| [00:36.22]] |
I went down to St. James Infirmary |
| [00:41.10] |
To see my baby there |
| [00:44.71] |
She was lying on a long wooden table |
| [00:48.65] |
So weak,so cool,so fair |
| [00:52.79] |
I went up to see the doctor |
| [00:58.07] |
She's very low, he said |
| [01:01.14] |
I went back to see my baby |
| [01:05.82] |
Great God,she's lying there dead |
| [01:09.38] |
I went down old Joe's bar room |
| [01:13.86] |
On the corner of the square |
| [01:17.96] |
They were serving the drinks as usual |
| [01:22.56] |
And the usual crowd was there |
| [01:26.52] |
On my left stood Old Joe McKennedy |
| [01:31.23] |
His eyes were bloodshot red |
| [01:34.92] |
He turned to the crowd who was standing around him |
| [01:39.60] |
And these are the words he said |
| [01:44.41] |
Let her go,let her go,God bless her |
| [01:48.95] |
Wherever she may be |
| [01:52.17] |
She may search the whole world over |
| [01:56.17] |
But she'll never find a man like me |
| [02:00.91] |
When I die would you please bury me |
| [02:05.19] |
In my high top Stetson hat |
| [02:08.95] |
Put a gold piece on my watch chain |
| [02:13.33] |
So they'll know I died standing pat |
| [02:17.67] |
Get six gamblers to carry my coffin |
| [02:21.76] |
And six choir girls to singing a song |
| [02:26.20] |
Stick a jazz band on my horsewagon |
| [02:30.32] |
So they can raise hell as I go along |
| [02:34.77] |
Now that's the end of my story |
| [02:38.96] |
Let's have another round of booze |
| [02:43.05] |
And if anyone should ask you |
| [02:47.24] |
Just tell them I got the St. James Infirmary blues |
