Cab Calloway And His Orchestra, Louis Armstrong - St. James' Infirmary lyrics

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, oh bless her
Wherever she may be
She will search this wide world over
But she'll never find another
Sweet man like me

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

An' give me six crap shooting pall bearers
Let a chorus girl sing me a song
Put a red hot jazz band at the top of my head
So we can raise Hallelujah as we go along

Folks, now that you have heard my story
Say, boy
Hand me over another shot of that hooch
If anyone should ask you
You just tell 'em I've got
Those St james Infirmary blues
