[Verse 1]
I went down
To Saint James Infirmary
And I saw my baby there
Stretched out on a long white table, yeah
So sweet, so calm, so fair
[Verse 2]
Let her go, let her go, God bless her, yeah
Wherever she may be
She can search this wide world over, yeah
But she's never ever gonna find another sharp-dressing, piano-playing man like me
[Verse 3]
Folks, this is the end of my story
And if anyone should ever ask you
Just go on ahead and tell them
That I had the Saint James Infirmary blues
