I went down to Saint James Infirmary
For to see, for to see my baby there
Man she was laid out
On a long white table
She was so cold and so cool
And so fair
Let her go, let her go
God bless her wherever she might be
Lord, you can search
This whole wide world over
[Saint James Infirmary lyrics on http://www.elyricsworld.com]
But she ain't never going to find
Another lover man like me
When I die, I want you to
Dress me in straight lace shoes
I want a box back coat
And a Stetson hat
I want a 20 dollar goldpiece
On my watch chain
So everybody goin' to know
That I died standing pat
