Louis Armstrong – St James Infirmary Lyrics
It was down in Old Joe’s barroom,
On the corner by the square,
The usual crowd was assembled
And big Joe Mckinney was there.
🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
He was standing at my shoulder.
His eyes were bloodshot red;
He turned to the crowd around him,
These are the very words he said:
🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
“I went down to the St. James Infirmary
I saw my baby there,
She’s laid out on a cold white table,
So so cold, so white, so fair. “
🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
Chorus
“Let her go, let her go, God bless her;
Wherever she may be
She may search this wide world over
She’ll never find a sweet man like me. ”
Oh, when I die, bury me
In my high top Stetson hat;
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
God’ll know I died standin’ pat.
🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
I want six crap shooters for pall bearers.
Chorus girl to sing me a song.
Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon.
Raise Hell as I roll along.
🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
Roll out your rubber tired carriage,
Roll out your old time hat.
Twelve men going to the graveyard
And eleven coming back.
🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
Now that I’ve told my story,
I’ll take another shot of booze.
And if anyone should happen to ask you,
I’ve got those gamblers’ blues.
