Saint James Infirmary - Cisco Houston

I went down to old Joe's bar room, 
On the corner by the square 
Well, the drinks were bein' served as usual, 
And this motley crowd was there 

Well, on my left stood Joe McKennedy, 
And his eyes were bloodshot red 
When he told me that sad story, 
These were the words he said: 

I went down to the St. James Infirmary, 
I saw my baby there 
She was stretched out on a long white table, 
So cold, and fine, and fair 
Go ahead! 

Let her go, let her go, 
God bless her, wherever she may be 
She can search this world over, 
Never find another man like me 

Yes, sixteen coal black horses, 
To pull that rubber tied hack 
Well, it's seventeen miles to the graveyard, 
But my baby's never comin' back 

Well, now you've heard my story, 
Well, have another round of booze 
And if anyone should ever, ever ask you, 
I've got the St. James Infirmary blues!
