I went down in Old Joe's barroom On the corner by the square Many drinks have been served as usual And the usual crowd was there
On my left stood Joe McKennedy And his eyes were bloodshot red When he told me that sad story These are the words that he said
When I went down to St James infirmary To see my baby there And she was stretched on a long white table So cold, so white, so fair Copy paste is a sin, always on the run is better Oh let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She can search this wide world over She'll never find another man like me
Sixteen coal black horses To pull that rubber tied hack image: http://static.urx.io/units/web/urx-unit-loader.gif
And there's seventeen miles to the graveyard And my baby's ain't never very well
Well, now that you've heard my story Well, have another round of booze And if anyone should ever ask you I've got the St. James infirmary blues
Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She can search this wide world over She'll never find another man like me
Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be And she can search this wide world over She'll never find another man like me No she'll never find another man like me She'll never find another man like me
