I went down
to the St James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
Stretched out on a long
white table
So sweet so cold so fair
Let her go let her go
God 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
