Am E7 Am
1.I was down in old Joe's barroom.
Dm E E7
On the corner by the square.
Am E7 Am
The drinks were served as usual.
E7 Am
And the usual crowd was there.
Am E7 Am
2. On my left stood Joe Mc Kennedy,
Dm E E7
his eyes were bloodshot red;
Am E7 Am
He turned to the crowd around him,
E7 Am
These are the words he said:
Am E7 Am
3. I went down to St. James Infirmary
Dm E E7
to see my Baby there
Am E7 Am
she was stretched out on a long white table
E7 Am
so cold, so pale and fair.
Am E7 Am
4. Went up to see the doctor,
Dm E E7
"She's very low," he said;
Am E7 Am
Went back to see my Baby;
E7 Am
Great God! She was lyin' there dead.
Am E7 Am
5. Let her go, let her go, God bless her;
Dm E E7
Wherever she may be;
Am E7 Am
She may search this wide world over,
E7 Am
she'll never find a man like me.
Am E7 Am
6. Oh, when I die, please bury me
Dm E E7
in my high-top Stetson hat;
Am E7 Am
Put a gold piece on my watch chain,
E7 Am
so they'll know I died standin' pat.
Am E7 Am
7. Get six gamblers to carry my coffin,
Dm E E7
six chorus girls to sing my song,
Am E7 Am
put a Jazz Band on my tail gate,
E7 Am
to raise hell as we go along.
Am E7 Am
8. Now that's the end of my story;
Dm E E7
let's have another round of booze;
Am E7 Am
And if anyone should ask you, just tell them,
E7 Am
I've got the Saint James Infirmary Blues.
