St. James Infirmary (Short version) – Hugh Laurie (Tekst)

I went down to St James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long, white table
So cool, so sweet, so sweet, so fair
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can search this whole wide world over
She won't ever find another man like me
When I die, a-bury me in straight laced shoes
A box backed suit and a Stetson hat
Put a 20 dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys'll know I died standin' pat
