Van Morrison - Saint James Infirmary lyrics
[Van Morrison - Saint James Infirmary lyrics]
I went down to Saint James Infirmary
For to see, for to see my baby there
Man she was laid out on a long white table
She was so cold and so cool and so fair
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she might be
Lord, you can search this
Whole wide world over
But she ain't never going to find
Another lover man like me
When I die
I want you to dress me in straight lace shoes
I want a box back coat and a Stetson hat
I want a 20 dollar goldpiece
On my watch chain
So everybody goin' to know that
I died standing pat
For to see, for to see my baby there
Man she was laid out on a long white table
She was so cold and so cool and so fair
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she might be
Lord, you can search this
Whole wide world over
But she ain't never going to find
Another lover man like me
When I die
I want you to dress me in straight lace shoes
I want a box back coat and a Stetson hat
I want a 20 dollar goldpiece
On my watch chain
So everybody goin' to know that
I died standing pat
