[verse 1]
well, i went down to saint james infirmary
to see my baby there
she would lie in on a long white table
so cold, so cool, so fair

[verse 2]
well, i went up to see that doctor
“she is very low,” he said
i went out back to see my baby
good god, she’s lyin’ there dead

[verse 3]
i went down to old joe’s barroom
on the corner by the square
he was servin’ drinks as usual
and the usual crowd was there

[verse 4]
up steps old joe mckennedy
and his eyes, they were bloodshot red
he turned his facе to those people
and thеse were the very words he said:

[verse 5]
let her go, let her go, god bless her
wherever she may be
she can search this whole wide world over
and never find a better man than me
[instrumental break]

[verse 6]
when i die, when i die, please bury me
in my high-topped stetson hat
put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
so my friends know i’m standin’ pat

[verse 7]
get me six gamblers to bear my coffin
six chorus girls to sing me a song
and put a twenty-piece jazz band on my tailgate
to raise h-ll as we’re ridin’ along

[instrumental break]

[verse 8]
so here is the end of my story
let’s have us another round of booze
so if anyone asks you, just gotta tell them
i got the saint james infirmary blues

[verse 5]
let her go, let her go, god bless her
wherever she may be
she can search this whole wide world over
and never find a better man than me
