Lyrics St. James Infirmary - Pete Seeger
It
was
down
in
old
Joe's
bar
room
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
And
now
my
story's
over
You
can
pass
around
another
shot
of
booze
And
if
anyone
should
ask
you
I've
got
those
gambler's
blues
