St James Infirmary (J. Primrose)

[Senna Jawa]

 
 
        I went down to the St James Infirmary
        Saw my baby there
        Stretched out on a long white table
        So sweet, so cold, so fair

        Let her go let her go God bless her
        Wherever she may be
        She could search this wide world over
        Never find a sweet man like me

        When I die want you to dress me in straight lace shoes
        Boxback coat and a Stetson hat
        Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
        So the boys'll know that I died standing flat
