《St James Infirmary》歌词

[00:00:01] It was down in Old Joe's barroom,

[00:00:02] On the corner by the square,

[00:00:03] The usual crowd was assembled

[00:00:30] And big Joe McKinney was there.

[00:00:33] He was standing at my shoulder.

[00:00:34] His eyes were bloodshot red;

[00:00:34] He turned to the crowd around him,

[00:00:55] These are the very words he said:

[00:00:56] "I went down to the St. James Infirmary

[00:00:59] I saw my baby there,

[00:01:03] She's laid out on a cold white table,

[00:01:08] So so cold, so white, so fair."

[00:01:12] [chorus

[00:01:12] "Let her go, let her go, God bless her;

[00:01:16] Wherever she may be

[00:01:20] She may search this wide world over

[00:01:24] She'll never find a sweet man like me."

[00:01:27] Oh, when I die, bury me

[00:01:31] In my high top Stetson hat;

[00:01:36] Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain

[00:01:41] God'll know I died standin' pat.

[00:01:54] I want six crap shooters for pall bearers.

[00:02:07] [Chorus

[00:02:08] Girl to sing me a song.

[00:02:09] Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon.

[00:02:12] Raise Hell as I roll along.

[00:02:13] Roll out your rubber tired carriage,

[00:02:17] Roll out your old time hat.

[00:02:37] Twelve men going to the graveyard

[00:02:38] And eleven coming back.

[00:02:39] Now that I've told my story,

[00:02:52] I'll take another shot of booze.

[00:02:54] And if anyone should happen to ask you,

[00:03:12] I've got those gamblers' blues.
