St James Infirmary Video (MV)

I went down to St. James Infirmary
To see my baby there
Stretched on a long white table
So sweet, so cold, so bare

Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can search this wide world over but
She'll never find a sweet man like me

When I die put on my straight-leg britches
A box-back coat and Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys'll know I died standin' pat

Well, give four crapshootin' pallbearers
And a chorus girl to sing me a song
With a red hot jazz band on the top my head
So we can raise hallelujah as we go along

Well, now that you have heard my story
Say boys, why don't you break out a spot of that booze
And if anyone should ask you just to tell them
I've got that Saint James infirmary blues

Well, give four crapshootin' pallbearers
Let a chorus girl to sing me a song
With a red hot jazz band on the top my head
So we can raise hallelujah as we go along

Well, now that you have heard my story
Say boys, why don't you break out a spot of that booze
And if anyone should ask you just to tell them
I've got that Saint James infirmary blues"
