Rube Bloom & His Bayou Boys St. James Infirmary
I went down to St. James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
Stretched out on a long white table
So sweet so cold so bare
Let her go, let her go, God bless her;
Wherever she may be
She may search this wide world over
She'll never find a sweet man like me
When I die I want you to dress me in straight lace shoes
Boxback coat and a stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys will know that I died standing pat.
