St. James Infirmary Lyrics

Bobby Blue Bland St. James Infirmary

I went down to St. James Infirmary
And I heard my baby moan
And I felt so broken hearted
She used to be my very own

I tried so hard to keep from crying
My heart felt just like lead
She was all that I had to live for
Oh, I just wish it was me instead

Now she's gone, she's gone and may God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can search this wide world over
But she'll never find a man like me

She's gone... she's gone... she's gone
