                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

    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

           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
