St. James Infirmary
Quelle: Spotify
It was down in old Joe's barroom, on the corner by the square
They were serving drinks as usual, and the usual crowd was there
On my left stood Big Joe McKennedy, and his eyes were bloodshot red
And he looked at the gang around him, and these are the very words he said:
I was down to St. James infirmary, I saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table,
So cold, so cool and fair
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can ramble this whole wide world over
And never find another man like me
Now when I die please bury me in my high top Stetson hat
Just put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the gang'll know I'm standing pat
I want six crapshooters to be my pallbearers
And a pretty women to sing me a song
Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon
Just to raise hell as we stroll along
And now that you've heard my story.
I'll take another shot of booze.
if any one should happen to ask you
Well I've got the Gamblers Blues.
