lyrics

ST. JAMES INFIRMARY - It was down in a smoky tavern, in a corner by the square. All the guys stood around drinkin' whisky, and the usual crowd was there. On my left stood my old pal McKenna. With his eyes all bloodshot and red. As he gazed at the crowd all around him, lookin' sad these words he said. “I went down to St. James Infirmary, and I saw my baby there. She was stretched on a long white table. Looked so pale, so cold, so fair. Let her go, let her go, God bless her. Let her go wherever she may be. She may search this whole country over, she'll find not a man like me. Now you've listened to my story. I'll have one more shot of booze. And if anyone happens to ask you, I've got those gambler's blues”.
