Went Down To St James Infirmary Lyrics

by Cassandra Wilson

I went down to the St James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
She stretched out on a long white table
So sweet, so cold, so fair
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e95551-cassandra_wilson~went_down_to_st_james_infirmary_lyrics.html ]
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can look this wide world over
But she'll never find a sweet man like me

When I die want you to dress me in straight lace shoes
I wanna a box back coat and a Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys'll know that I died standing pat
