Artie Shaw & His Orchestra feat. Hot Lips Page - St. James Infirmary Blues (Parts I & II) Lyrics

Lyrics St. James Infirmary Blues (Parts I & II) - Hot Lips Page , Artie Shaw & His Orchestra



I went down to St. James Infirmary
I saw my baby there,
Stretching on long white table,
So sweet, so cool, so fair.
Let her go, let her go, God bless her;
Wherever she may be
She may search the wide world over
And never find a better man than me
Oh, when I die, please bury me
In my ten dollar Stetson hat;
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So my friends'll know I died standin' pat.
Get six gamblers to carry my coffin
Six chorus girls to sing me a song
Put a twenty-piece jazz band on my tail gate
To raise Hell as we go along
Now that's the end of my story
Let's have another round of booze
And if anyone should ask you just tell them
I've got the St. James Infirmary blues
