[Intro]
[Verse]
I went down to St James Infirmary
I Saw my baby there
Stretched out on a long white table
So cold, so pale, so fair
[Verse]
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Sheâs mine wherever she may be
She can search this whole wide world over
Sheâll never find another good loving man like me
[Verse]
Now when I die, would you bury me,
My silk suit and my best top hat,
A 20 dollar gold piece hanging on my watch chain;
I want the boys to know I died standin pat
[Verse 4]
I need six gambling men to be my pall-barers
Six chorus girls to sing for me,
Tell everybody âbout the woman that I loved and lost, good god,
Down at the St. James infrmary
[Solo]

Stretched out on a long white table
So cold, so pale, so fair

Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Sheâs mine wherever she may be
She can search this whole wide world over
Sheâll never find another good loving man like me
