It was down at old Joe's barroom At the corner of the square The was servin' drinks as usual And the usual crowd was there On my left stood Big Joe McKennedy And his eyes was bloodshot red Well, he turned to the crowd around him These are the very words he said I went down to that old St. James Infirmary I saw my baby there She was stretched out on a long, white table She was so fine, so cold, so fair Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She may search this wide world over Never find a sweeter man like me When I die, won't you bury me In my high-top Stetson hat Put a twenty-dollar goldpiece on my watch chain So the gang'll know I died standin' pat Yeah, I want six crap-shooters for pallbearers A chorus girl to sing me a song Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon Raise hell as I roll along Get out your rubber-tired carriage Get out your old-time hat Because there's twelve men goin' to the graveyard And eleven coming back Now that I've told you my story I think I'll have another shot of booze And if anyone should happen to ask you You know I got those gambler's blues Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She may search this wide world over Never find a sweeter man like me
