Well, folks, I'm going down to St. James Infirmary
And seen my little baby, there
She's stretched out on a long, white table
Well, she looks so good, so cold, so fair
ย
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
You may search this whole wide world over
But you'll never find another sweetheart like me
Yeah
ย
Take apart your bones and put 'em back together
Tell your momma that you're somebody new
Feel the breeze blowin'
Tell 'em all, "Look out, here he comes!"
Now I can say whatever I feel like to you
Then give me six crap-shootin' pallbearers
Let a chorus girl sing me a song
Put a red-hot jazz band at the top
We raise Hallelujah, as we go along
Well
ย
Well, 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
