{t: St. James Infirmary Blues [Em] } {key: Em} {artist:Rambling Jack Elliott} https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUz-WqUw4Ic [Em] I went down to [B7] Old Joe's [Em] Bar-room. [Em] On the corner [Am] by the [B7] square. They were [Em] serving [B7] drinks as [Em] usual. And the [C7] usual [B7] crowd was [Em] there. {c: } [Em] On my left stood [B7] Joe Mac[Em]Kennedy. [Em] His eyes were [Am] blood-shot [B7] red. He [Em] turned to the [B7] crowd a[Em]round him And [C7] these are the [B7] words that he [Em] said. {c: } [Em] I went down to [B7] St. James [Em] Infirmary. [Em] I saw my [Am] baby [B7] there. [Em] Lying on a [B7] long white [Em] table, So [C7] sweet, [B7] so cold, [Em] so fair. {c: } [Em] I went up to [B7] see the [Em] doctor. [Em] 'She's very [Am] low,' he [B7] said. [Em] I went back to [B7] see my [Em] baby And great [C7] god she was [B7] lying there [Em] dead. {c: } [Em] Let her go, let her [B7] go, God [Em] bless her. [Em] Wherever [Am] she may [B7] be. She may [Em] search this [B7] wide world [Em] over But she'll never [C7] find another [B7] man like [Em] me. {c: } [Em] When I [B7] die please [Em] bury me [Em] In a high top [Am] stetson [B7] hat. Put a [Em] gold piece [B7] on my [Em] watch chain. So they'll [C7] know I died [B7] standing [Em] pat. {c: } [Em] Get six gamblers to [B7] carry my [Em] coffin. [Em] Six chorus girls to [Am] sing my [B7] song. Put a [Em] jazz band [B7] on my [Em] tailgate To raise [C7] hell as we [B7] roll a[Em]long. {c: } [Em] This is the [B7] end of my [Em] story. [Em] So let's have another [Am] round of [B7] booze. And if [Em] any one should [B7] ask you just [Em] tell them I've got the [C7] St. James [B7] Infirmary [Em] Blues.
