Lyrics:

I went down, to St James Infirmary

Saw my baby there

She was stretched out on a long white table

So cold, so sweet, so sweet, so fair

Let her go, let her go, God bless her

Wherever she may be

She can search this whole wide world over

She won't ever find another man like me

When I die, bury 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
