St. James Infirmary
trad.
| Em | Am | Em | C | B7 |
I went | down to | old Joe's | barroom, On the corner | by the | square. |
| Em | Am | Em | C | B7 | Em | Am |
Well, the | drinks were | served as | usual, And the | usual | crowd was | there, | |
| Em | B7 | Em |
And the | usual | crowd was | there. |
| Em | Am | Em | C | B |
In a | corner stood | old Joe Mc | Kennedy, His eyes all | bloodshot and | red. |
| Em | Am | Em | C | B7 | Em | Am |
He | turned to the | crowd a | round him, And | these were the | words he | said, | |
| Em | B7 | Em |
And | these were the | words he | said: |
| Em | Am | Em | C | B7 |
I | went to | St. James in | firmary, I saw my | baby | there. |
| Em | Am | Em |
She was | layed out on a | long white | table, |
| C | B7 | Em | Am | Em | B7 | Em |
So | sweet, so | cold, so | fair, | So | sweet, so | cold, so | fair! |
Went up to see the doctor, "She's very low," he said; | |
Went back to see my baby: | |
Good God! She's lying there dead! Good God! She's lying there dead! | |
"Let her go, let her go, God bless her, Wherever she may be! | |
She can search this wide world over, | |
And never find a man like me, And never find a man like me! | |
Well, if I die, please won't you bury me With my high top Stetson hat! | |
Put a twenty Dollar gold piece on my watchchain, | |
to let the boys know that I'm standing pat, to let the boys know that I'm standing pat! | |
Get six gamblers to carry my coffin, Let six pretty girls sing me a song! | |
Put a dixieland band behind my hearse wagon, | |
To raise Hell while they roll me along, To raise Hell while they roll me along | |
Now that's the end of my story; Let's have another round of booze | |
And if anyone should ask you: | |
I've got the St. James Infirmary blues, I've got the St. James Infirmary blues! | |
Let her go, let her go, God bless her,... | |
