LYRICS

I WENT DOWN TO ST. JAMES INFIRMARY
TO SEE MY BABY THERE
SHE WAS STRETCHED OUT ON A LONG WHITE TABLE
SO SWEET, SO COLD, SO FAIR
LET HER GO, LET HER GO, GOD BLESS HER
WHEREVER SHE MAY BE
SHE CAN SEARCH THIS WHOLE WIDE WORLD OVER
BUT SHE'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER MAN LIKE ME…
NOW WHEN I DIE BURY ME IN STRAIGHT-LEG BRITCHES
A TAIL COAT AND MY OLD TOP HAT
AND PUT A TWENTY-DOLLAR GOLD PIECE
ON MY WATCH CHAIN
SO YOU CAN TELL MY BOYS I DIED STANDING PAT
AND GIVE ME SIX CRAP SHOOTING PALL BEARERS
A CHORUS GIRL TO SING ME A SONG
AND PUT A RATTLIN BONE AT THE TOP OF MY HEAD
SO WE CAN RAISE HELL ALL NIGHT LONG…

FOLKS, NOW YOU’VE HEARD MY STORY
GIVE ME ANOTHER SHOT OF THAT BOOZE
AND IF ANYONE ASKS ABOUT OL’ WILY BO
HE’S GOT THOSE ST. JAMES INFIRMARY BLUES
LET HER GO, LET HER GO, GOD BLESS HER
WHEREVER SHE MAY BE
SHE CAN SEARCH THIS WHOLE WIDE WORLD
ALL OVER AGAIN
BUT SHE'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER MAN LIKE ME
LI-LI-LI-LI-LI-LI…
SHE'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER MAN LIKE ME
