Rufus Wainwright, Kate McGarrigle, Martha Wainwright, Norah Jones - St. James Infirmary lyrics

Early one morning at the St james Infirmary
Early one morning in the month of May
I spied a young cowboy all wrapped
In white linen all wrapped in white linen
And as cold as the clay

Come sit down beside me
Come and hear my sad story
Come sit down beside me
Come and hear my sad song and tell me
For my poor head is aching and
My sad heart is breaking i'm a poor
Rundown cowboy and Hell is my doom

Call for the doctor, come and heal my body
Call for the preacher, for to heal up my soul
For my poor head is aching and
My sad heart is breaking i'm a poor
Rundown cowboy and Hell is my doom

Get me six pretty maidens
Come and carry my coffin
Six pretty maidens to come and carry me home
And tell them to bring some
Of them sweet-smelling lilies
So they won't have to smell me
As they carry me along

For my poor head is aching and
My sad heart is breaking i'm a poor
Rundown cowboy and Hell is my doom
