It was down in old Joe's barroom
In the corner down by the square
Bom, bom, bom
All the drinks they were served as usual
And the usual crowd it was there
On my left there stood old George McKennedy
Well his eyes they were bloodshoted red
Bom, bom, bom
And he turned to the crowd around him
And these were the words that he said
I went down to St. James Infirmary
They've got my baby there
Bom, bom, bom
Stretched out on a long, long, long white table
So cold, so fair, she was dead
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Oh where ever she may be
Bom, bom, bom
She may search the whole, whole world wide ever
Never find a man as sweet as me
ย
Bom, bom, bom

I might get killed on the highway
Might get strucked by some stray cannon ball
Bom, bom, bom
You might write down in life's history
That a woman was the cause of it all
But if I die, little lady, won't you bury me
On my tombstone write these letters in black
Bom, bom, bom
Saying here lies my hard working daddy
Lawdy lawd, I wish he would come back
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Oh where ever she may be
Bom, bom, bom
She may search the whole, whole world wide ever
Never find a man as sweet as me
Never find a man as sweet as me
