about
Traditional with slightly altered lyrics
lyrics
i went down to st. james infirmary
i saw my baby there
she was stretched out on a long white table
so cold, so fine, so fair
"let her go! let her go!
god bless her soul
wherever she may be"
she can search this whole world over
and never find a man like me
when i die, oh, lord
please bury me
in my suit
crimson and black
put gold coins over my eyelids so that
i know im going back
get six crack shooting pallbearers
six chorus girls to sing me a song
and but a jazz band behind my hearse wagon
to raise hell as we roll along
get sixteen coal black horses
to pull that rubber tired hack
theres thirteen men going to the graveyard
and only twelve coming back
so now you've heard my story
now have another round or two
and if anyone should ever ask you
i got the st. james infirmary blues
i saw my baby there
she was stretched out on a long white table
so cold, so fine, so fair
"let her go! let her go!
god bless her soul
wherever she may be"
she can search this whole world over
and never find a man like me
when i die, oh, lord
please bury me
in my suit
crimson and black
put gold coins over my eyelids so that
i know im going back
get six crack shooting pallbearers
six chorus girls to sing me a song
and but a jazz band behind my hearse wagon
to raise hell as we roll along
get sixteen coal black horses
to pull that rubber tired hack
theres thirteen men going to the graveyard
and only twelve coming back
so now you've heard my story
now have another round or two
and if anyone should ever ask you
i got the st. james infirmary blues
