St. James Infirmary, Part 1

Lyrics

It was down in Big King's Barroom On the corner beyond the square Everybody drinking liquor The regular crowd was there I strolls on out to the sidewalk Began walking around I looked everywhere I thought she'd be But my little girl couldn't be found I walked past the big infirmary I heard my sweetheart moan Gee, it hurts me to see you here Cause you know you used to be my home I goes on back to see the doctor "Your gal in low" he said I went on back to see my baby Good God, she was lyin' there dead Oooohhhhh Hhheeeyy oooohhhh Oooohhhh heeeeee oooohhhh Hhheeey oooohhh So I strolls on back to the barroom I drink a whiskey till night Cause it hurt me so to see you there Lyin' out so cold, so white She's gone, she's gone, God bless her She's mine whenever she may be She has rambled this wide world over But she never found a man like me Oooohhhh oooohhhh oohh Hhheeeyyyy oooohhhh Oooohhhh Hhheeey oooohhh Hhheeey oooohhh Ooooohhh Hhhheeey oooohhhh hheeeyy ooohh She's gone, she's gone, God bless her She's mine whenever she may be She has rambled this wide world over But she never found a man like me Sixteen coal-black horses All hitched up in line In that pretty buggy, she's ridin' Goodbye, old gal of mine
