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 fair Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She can look this wide world over She'll never find a sweet man like me When I die bury me in straight-leg shoes I wanna box back coat and a stetson hat Put a 20 dollar gold piece on my watch chain So the boys'll know that I died standing pat
