Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
When I went down to old Joe's barroom On the corner by the square The drinks we all served as usual And the usual crowd was there Up the bar, I saw Big Joe McKenny With his eyes bloodshot and red Gather round and now all you sinners I'm gonna tell you just what Big Joe said When I went down to St. James infirmary Just to see my baby there She was stretched on a long white table So cold, so cold, so fair Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She can look this whole wide world over But she'll never find another man like me Now, when I die I want you to bury me In my high top Stetson hat Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain I want the boys to know I died standing pat And if anybody should ask you who's been singing If anybody should wanna know who wrote this song Just tell him Big Joe was here this morning Well he was here this morning, yeah, but now he's gone
