Songtexte

In a corner by the square

The drinks were served as usual

And a goodly crowed was there

On my left stood Joe McKenney

His eyes blood shot and red

He said "you can set em up bar-tender"

And these were the words he said

I was down by St. James Infirmary

I saw my sweat-heart there

She was layin' out on a cold, white table

So cold, so white, so bare

I went up to the doctor

"She's mighty low" he said

I went back to my baby

Good god she's layin' there dead

Let her go, let her go god bless her

Wherever she may be

You can search the whole wide world over

But there'll never be another for me

Now, when I die just bury me

In my long, black coat and silk hat

Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch-chain

To show the good Lord I'm standing fat
