St. James Infirmary (01-28-30) - King Oliver

I went down to St James Infirmary

Saw my baby there

Stretched down on a long white table

So sweet, so cold, so fair

Let her go, let her go, God bless her

Wherever she may be

She can look this wide world over

She will never find a sweet man like me

When I die, I want you to drees me in straight laced shoes

A box backed suit and a Stetson hat

Put a 20 dollar gold piece on my watch chain;

So the boys’ll know I died standin' pat
