I went down to St James Infirmary Saw my baby there She was stretched out on a long white table So cold, so sweet, so sweet, so fair
Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She can search this whole wide world over She won't ever find another man like me
When I die, bury me in straight laced shoes, A box backed suit and a Stetson hat Put a 20 dollar gold piece on my watch chain; So the boys'll know I died standin' pat
