[00:00.00]St. James Infirmary (Live) - Dave Van Ronk
[00:20.66]It was down at old Joe's bar room
[00:25.34]On a corner of the square
[00:29.70]They were serving drinks as usual
[00:34.05]And the usual crowd was there
[00:39.39]On my left stood Big Joe McKennedy
[00:44.03]His eyes were bloodshot red
[00:48.77]He turned to the crowd around him
[00:52.92]These are the very words he said
[01:19.50]I went down to that St-James Infirmary
[01:23.98]I saw my baby there
[01:28.38]Stretched out on a long white table
[01:31.99]So sweet so cold so fair
[01:36.93]Let her go let her go God bless her
[01:41.83]Wherever she may be
[01:46.19]She may search this wide world over
[01:49.92]I never find a sweet man like me
[01:54.94]When I die please bury me
[01:59.12]In my high-top Stetson hat
[02:03.44]Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch-chain
[02:06.80]Let God know I died standing pat
[02:12.09]I want six crapshooters for pallbearers
[02:16.31]A chorus girl to sing me a song
[02:19.94]Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon
[02:23.82]Raise hell as I stroll along
[02:28.32]Roll out your rubber tired carriage
[02:34.02]Roll out your rubber tired hack
[02:37.18]Twelve men going to the graveyard
[02:40.50]Ain't no living comin' back
[02:45.29]Now that I've told my story
[02:48.90]I'll take an other shot of booze
[02:52.99]And if anybody happens to ask you
[02:56.59]I've got those gamblers blues
[03:01.71]Let her go let her go God bless her
[03:05.90]Wherever she may be
[03:09.43]She may search this wide world over
[03:13.18]Never find a sweet man like me
[03:17.24]Doo dooo
[03:25.07]Think you goodnight
