about

this is a cover of a song that traces its roots back to the early industrial age

lyrics

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
