《St James Infirmary》歌词

[00:04:33] It was down in Old Joe's barroom,

[00:04:33] On the corner by the square,

[00:04:33] The usual crowd was assembled

[00:04:33] And big Joe McKinney was there.

[00:04:33] He was standing at my shoulder.

[00:04:33] His eyes were bloodshot red;

[00:04:33] He turned to the crowd around him,

[00:04:33] These are the very words he said:

[00:04:33] "I went down to the St. James Infirmary

[00:04:33] I saw my baby there,

[00:04:33] She's laid out on a cold white table,

[00:04:33] So so cold, so white, so fair."

[00:04:33] [chorus

[00:04:33] "Let her go, let her go, God bless her;

[00:04:33] Wherever she may be

[00:04:33] She may search this wide world over

[00:04:33] She'll never find a sweet man like me."

[00:04:33] Oh, when I die, bury me

[00:04:33] In my high top Stetson hat;

[00:04:33] Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain

[00:04:33] God'll know I died standin' pat.

[00:04:33] I want six crap shooters for pall bearers.

[00:04:33] [Chorus

[00:04:33] Girl to sing me a song.

[00:04:33] Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon.

[00:04:33] Raise Hell as I roll along.

[00:04:33] Roll out your rubber tired carriage,

[00:04:33] Roll out your old time hat.

[00:04:33] Twelve men going to the graveyard

[00:04:33] And eleven coming back.

[00:04:33] Now that I've told my story,

[00:04:33] I'll take another shot of booze.

[00:04:33] And if anyone should happen to ask you,

[00:04:33] I've got those gamblers' blues.
