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
