Lyrics

Well, folks, I'm going down to St. James Infirmary
To see my little lady there
She's stretched out on a long, white table
Well, she looks so good, so cold, so fair.

Let her go, let her go, God bless her, 
Wherever she may be, 
You may search this wide world over, 
But you'll never find another sweetheart like me.

Take apart your bones and put them back together
Tell your mama that you're somebody new
Feel the breeze blowin'
Tell them all 'look out, here it comes'
Now I can say whatever I feel like to you

Then get me six crap shootin' Paul Bearers
Let a chorus girl sing me a song
Put a ?????
Hallelujah as we go along 

Folks, now that you have heard my story, 
Say, boy, hand me another shot of that rye; 
And if anyone else should ask you,
Just tell em' I've got some of those St. James Infirmary blues.
