[Intro 1] [Am][E][Am] [E][Am] [Verse 1] I [Am]went down to St. [E]James Infirm[Am]ary [A]To see [E]my baby [Am]there, She was lyin' on [E]a long white t[Am]able, So sweet, [E]so [Am]cool, so fair. [Verse 2] [Am]Went up to see the doctor, "She's very low," [E]he said; Went back to see my baby Good [Am]God! She's lying there dead. I [A]went down [E]to old Joe's barroom, On the corner by the square They [Am]were serving the drinks as [E]usual, And the usual crowd [Am]was [A]there. [Verse 3] On my left stood [Am]old Joe McKennedy, And his [E]eyes were bloodshot red; He turned to the crowd around him, These [Am]are the words he said: [E]Let her [Verse 4] [Am]go, let her [E]go, God [A]bless [Am]her; Wherever [E]she [A]may [Am]be [E][Am] [A]She may search the [E]wide [Bm]worl[A]d over [Am]And neve[A]r find[Am] a better man [E]than me Oh, when I die, please bury me In my ten dollar Stetson hat; [Verse 5] [E]Put a twenty- dollar gold piece on my watch chain So my friends'll know I died standin' pat. [Verse 6] Get six gamblers [E]to carry my coffin Six chorus girls to [Am]sing me a song Put a twenty- piece jazz band on my tail gate [E]To raise Hell as we [A]go along [Verse 7] Now that's the end [E]of my story Let's have another [Am]round of booze And if anyone should ask you just tell them I've [E]got the St. James Infirm[Am]ary blues
