I went down to St. James Infirmary
I saw my baby there
Stretched out on a long white table
So sweet, so cold, so fair

Let him go, let him go, God bless him
Wherever he may be
He can search this whole wide world over
But he'll never find another girl like me

When he die bury him in his straight legged shoes
Box back coat and a Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on his watch chain
So all the boys will know he died standing pat

Let him go, let him go
Wherever he may be
He can search this whole wide world over
But he'll never find another girl like me
