Louis Armstrong - St James Infirmary Lyrics

Louis Armstrong Lyrics

"St James Infirmary"

I went down to St.James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table
So cold, so sweet, 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 (yeah, braggin')

When I die, bury me in straight lace shoes
I want a Boxback coat and a Stetson hat (John B, that is)
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys'll know that I died standin' pat
