[Harry Connick, Jr. - St. James Infirmary Blues/ Just A Closer Walk With Thee lyrics]
I found my baby there
She was stretched out on a long, white table
So calm, so cool, so bare
Let her go, I said, let her go
May God bless her wherever she may be
Well, she could search this
Whole wide world over, yeah
But she'll never find a sweet man like Harry
Now, when I die, I wanna be buried
In a box with a black coat and a stetson hat
I want a twenty dollar gold
Piece on my watch chain
So all the boys would know
I died standing pat
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, if you please
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
Oh, I i am weak, but Thou art strong
Thou art strong
Keep me Jesus, from all wrong
I'll be satisfied just as long
Just as long, as you walk, close to me
Now folks, this is the end of my story
Bartender, pass me another bottle of booze
If anyone should ever ask you
You can tell them I've got
The St james Infirmary blues
