St. James Infirmary - Georgie Fame

作词：Trad.

作曲：Trad.

I went down to St James infirmary

I heard my baby groan

I felt so broken and downhearted

She used to be mine

Though I tried to keep from crying

My heart just felt like lead

The woman was all I had to live for

You know I wished it was me instead

I went down to St James Infirmary

All was still as night

My gal was laying out on the table

Stretched out so pale so white

Though she treated me mean and low down

The woman was bad

Somehow I didn't care

My soul is sick and weary

And I just hope that we two meet again up there

When I die

I want you

To dress me in straight lace shoes

Give me a buff backed coat

And a big black hat

Put a twenty dollar gold piece

Hangin' on my watch chain

So all the boys would know that their man died standing pat

Let her go

Let her go

Let the woman go God bless her

Wherever

She may be

She can search and look this wide world over over

But the gal will never find a sweet man

Like me
