I went down to Saint James Infirmary Saw my baby there She was stretched out on that long white table So still, so cold, so fair I bent my head down to my baby Softly spoke her name I put a twenty-dollar gold piece in her pocket So she can sit in on the Lord's big game She was seven diamonds shining in my darkness She was aces, in my hand Why she ever bothered with this two-bit gambler's one thing I'll never understand I never thought I'd lose her Oh but the stakes they grew so high I fold and get the hell out When the bullets start to fly She drank up all my whiskey Then asked me for the gin She died of a bullet that was meant for me Now I'll never have that lovin' again Let her go, let her go, let her go God bless her Wherever she may be I can search this whole world wide over I'll never find a sweeter gal than she Now you've heard my story Pass me a bottle of that booze And if anyone asks you just tell them I've got the Saint James Infirmary Blues
