I went down to Saint James Infirmary
to see my baby there
she was laid out on a long white table
so sweet, so cold, so fair
let her go, let her go
god rest her soul
wherever she may be
she can search this wide world over, and never find a sweet man like me
let her go, let her go
god rest her soul
when I die please bury me
in my high top Stetson hat
put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
so the devil knows I died standing pat
give me six crap shooting pallbearers
let a chorus girl sing me a song
put a red hot jazz band at the top of my head
to raise hell as we roll along
let her go, let her go
god rest her soul
now that you have heard my story
hey boy hand me another shot of that booze
and if anyone should ask you, you can tell 'em
I got them saint james infirmary blues

lord help me i'm back on my bullshit again
I found my way into another dead end
I needed someone to save my ass again
put me up to the flames, hold tight
let the cinders burn me alive
I'll just end up at the same old funeral pyres
bury me deep in the dirt
wring my neck, yeah, c'mon now make it hurt
she said "lovin' you is self harm"
well baby, when did you lose your charm
come on now and show me those fangs
show me those fangs
fight fair
oh, you never really tried
sanctify me with a closed fist
put your back into it
because if I'm hurting
then at least I'm feeling something
come on now and show me those fangs
show me those fangs
I am down on my knees
release me from this prison cell
this dead end we created for ourselves
this toxic hell
