St. James Infirmary - Lou Rawls

I feel so blue
And I feel heart broken
What am I living for
My baby she went away
And she left me
No no no never
To come back
No no no more
I went down to st
James infirmary
I heard my baby moan
I felt so broken hearted
She used to be my own
I tried so hard to keep from crying
My heart felt just like lead
She was all I had to live for
Oh
I wish it was me instead
I went down to st james infirmary
And I saw my baby there
Stretched out on a long
Long
Long white table
So sweet
So cold
So fair
Let her go
Let her go
God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can search this wide world over
But shell never find a sweet man like me
When I die want you to dress me in straight leg shoes
I wanna a boxback coat and a stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So all the boys'll know that I died standing pat
St james infirmary let my baby go
Let my baby go
