St James Infirmary Blues

I'm on my way to St. James Hospital
To see my baby
Who's lying on a table
She looks so beautiful even though she's stiff

Let her go, let her go, God bless you
Wherever you are
If she looks for me from the underworld
She would only find disappointments

When I die
Bury me with all my gear
I want to look stylish until the end

Hang a golden centennial on my chain
So the boys can see
That I didn't do so bad

Have six players carry my coffin
Have someone I love
Sing me a song
Have a hot Jazz band play
Over my coffin
And sing Hallelujah!
And I ask for nothing more

Now that you've heard my story
Bartender, serve me another Alipus
If they ask about me, tell them
That St. James Hospital
Left this Blues
