[Verse 1]
Dm A7 Dm
I went down to St.James Infirmary
Dm Bb7 A7
Saw my baby there
Dm A7 Dm
She was stretched out on a long, white table
Bb7 A7 Dm
So cold, so sweet, so fair
[Verse 2]
Dm A7 Dm
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Dm Bb7 A7
Wherever she may be
Dm A7 Dm
She can look this wide world over
Bb7 A7 Dm
But she'll never find a sweet man like me
[Verse 3]
Dm A7 Dm
When I die bury me in strait laced shoes,
Dm Bb7 A7
I want a Boxback coat and a Stetson hat
Dm A7 Dm
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
Bb7 A7 Dm
So the boys will know that I died standin' pat

I went down to St.James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
Sat down on a long white table
So sweet, so cold, so fair
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can look this wide world over
She'll never find a sweet man like me
When I die I want you to dress me in straight lace shoes
Boxback coat and a Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys’ll know that I died standin' pat
