White Stripes, The St. James Infirmary Blues Lyrics
Artist - White Stripes, The
Album - White Stripes
well folks i'm goin' down to st. james infirmary
see my baby there
she's stretched out on a long, white table
she's so sweet, so cold, so fair
let her go, let her go, god bless her
wherever she may be
she will search this wide world over
but she'll never find another sweet man like me
take apart your bones and put 'em back together
tell your mother that your somebody new
feel the breeze blowin'
tell 'em all look out here it comes
now i can say whatever i feel like to you
now give me six crap shootin' paul bearers
let a chorus girl sing me a song
put a red-hot little bit of something we've raised
hallelujah as we go along
now when I die, bury me in my straight-leg britches
put on a box-back coat and a stetson hat
put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
so you can let all the boys know I died standing pat
folks, now that you have heard my story
say boy, hand me another shot of that booze
if anyone should ask you
tell 'em i've got those St. James Infirmary blues
