C                      F  
I went down to St. James Infirmary,  
C                       G7  
Saw my baby there.  
C                        F  
Stretched out on a long, white table,  
C                     G7  
So sweet, so cold, so fair.  
C                      F  
Let her go, let her go, God bless her,  
C                          G7  
Wherever she may be.  
C                          F  
She may search this whole wide world over,  
C                       G7  
But she'll never find a man like me.  

C                     F  
When I die, bury me in my straight-laced shoes,  
C                      G7  
A Stetson hat and a black coat.  
C                       F  
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain,  
C                          G7  
So the boys will know I died standing pat.
