**Lyrics:**

        Am  
I went down to Saint James Infirmary  
        E7  
I saw my baby there  
        Am  
She was stretched out on a long white table  
        Am  
So sweet, so cold, so fair  

        Am  
Let her go, let her go, God bless her  
        E7  
Wherever she may be  
        Am  
She may search this whole wide world over  
        Am  
But she'll never find a man like me  

        C  
When I die, bury me in my straight-laced shoes  
        E7  
A box-back coat and a Stetson hat  
        Am  
I want a jazz band to play my funeral  
        Am  
I want a jazz band to play my funeral  
        E7  
And I want a bunch of you women to sing the blues
