Phil Harris - St. James Infirmary lyrics

When will I ever stop moanin? When will I ever smile? My baby went and left me, she'll be gone a long, long while I feel so blue and heartbroken, what am I livin' for? My baby went and left me, never to come back no more So I went down to that St James Infirmary I heard my baby groan.I felt so brokenhearted Baby used to be my own I tried to keep from cryin', my hart felt just like lead She was all I had to live for,I wish that it was me instead I went down to old St. James Infirmary, all was still as night My gal stretched out on a cool, white table, so cold, so pale, so white Though she treated me mean and lowdown, somehow I didn't care My soul is sick and weary, I hope we meet again up there Let her go, let her go, God bless her, wherever she may be She could look this wide world over,but she'll never find a sweet Man like me When I die I want you to dress me in straight-laced shoes A box-backed coat with a Stetson hat Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain So the boys'll know I died stand-in' pat I'll play these
