noah aldega - st. james infirmary lyrics

[verse 1]
it was down at old joe’s barroom
at the corner by the square
drinks were served as usual
and the usual crowd was there
so on my left stood big joe mckennedy
his eyes were bloodshot red
and as he looked at the gang around him
these were the very words he said

[chorus]
i went down to st. james infirmary
i heard my baby groan
i felt so brokenhearted
she used to be my own
said i went down to the st. james infirmary
i saw my baby there
stretched out on a long, white table
so young, so cold, so fair

[verse 2]
seventeen coal black horses
pitched to rubber+tied hack
seven girls goin’ to the graveyard
only six of them are coming back
let her go, let her go, god bless her
wherever she may be
she may search this wide world over
and never find another man like me
[verse 3]
but when i die just bury me
my high+top stetson hat
place a twenty+dollar gold piece on my watch chain
to let the lord know i died standin’ pat
i want six cr+p shooters for my pall bearers
a chorus girl to sing me a song
place a jazz band on my he+rs+ wagons
to raise h+ll as we roll along
now that you’ve heard my story
i’ll take another shot of booze
and if anyone here should ask you
i’ve got them gambler’s blues
