I went down to the st james infirmary
Saw my baby there
Stretched out on a long white table
So sweetso coldso fair
Let her golet her gogod bless her
Wherever she may be
She can look this wide world over
But she?ll never find a sweet man like me
When I die want you to dress me in straight lace shoes
I wanna a boxback coat and a stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys?ll know that I died standing flat
