I went down to St. James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table
So cold, so sweet, so sweet , so fair

Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can search this whole wide world over
She won't ever find an other man like me

When I die, bury me in straight laced shoes
A box back suit and a Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys will know I died standin' pat
