mystic number national bank - st. james infirmary lyrics

i went down to st. james infirmary
saw my baby there
she was stretched out on a long, white table
so sweet, so cold, and so fair

then i went up to see the doctor
“she very, very, very low,” he said
i went back down to take another look at my baby
and great god, she was lyin’ there dead

ah, let her go, let her go, god bless her
wherever she may be
she can search this whole wide world over
but she’ll nеver find, never find, nеver find a sweet man like me

i went down to old joe’s barroom
on the corner by the square
the drinks, they were served, they were served as usual
and all of the usual crowd was there

then up stepped joe frankie kennedy
his eyes, his eyes, they was a bloodshot red
he leaned across my table
and he listened to every word that i said

i said let her go, let her go, let her go, god bless her
wherever she may be
she can search this whole wide world over
but she’ll never, never find a sweet man, sweet man like me
when i die i want you to bury me in straight+laced shoes
in a box+back coat and one of them fine stingy brim stetson hats, yeah
put a twenty+dollar gold piece on my watch chain, ah, yeah
so the boys’ll know that i died standin’ pat

gimme six gamblers to carry my coffin, yeah
gimme six chorus girls to sing me a song
la+di+da, la+di+da, la+di+da
a+gimme a jazz band to ride on my tailgate
and i’m gonna raise plenty h+ll as we go along
and tell ’em to play

let her go, let her go, god bless her
wherever, wherever she may be
she can search this godforsaken world over
but she’ll never find a sweet man like me
let her go, let her go, god bless her
wherever, wherever she may be
whoa, she can search the whole wide world over, oh
oh, but she’ll never find a sweet man like me

a sweet man like me, mm, mm, yeah

[instrumental break]

i’ll tell you, boy, she’ll never find
a sweet lovin’ man like me
she’ll never find, she’ll never find
she’ll never find, she’ll never find
she’ll never find
she’ll never find a sweet man like me
ah, like me, like me, like me
she’ll never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never
never find a sweet man, ah, like me
