St. James Infirmary

I went down to the St James Infirmary

I heard my baby moan

I felt so broken hearted

That woman used to be my own

So let her go let her go God bless her

Wherever she may be

She might search this whole wide world over

She ain't never gonna find a simple man like me

Now I went down to old Joe's barroom

It stands down on the square

They was drinkin' cold hard liquor

And all the regular crowd was there

So let her go let her go God bless her...

Down at the St James Infirmary St James Infirmary

St James Infirmary I heard my baby groan

Down at the St James James Infirmary
