I went down to St. James Infirmary I saw my baby there She was stretched out on a long white table So cold, so sweet, so fair
Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She can look this wide world over But she'll never find another sweet man like me
When I die bury me in straight lace shows A box back coat and a Stetson hat Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain So the boys'll know that I died standing pat
Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She can look this wide world over But she'll never find another sweet man like me
