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

Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can look this wide world over
But she'll never find another sweet man like me

When I die bury me in straight lace shoes
A box back coat and a Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys'll know that I died standing pat

Let her go, let ger go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can look this wide world over
But she'll never find another sweet man like me
