Metropolis - St. James Infirmary lyrics

rate me

I went down to St. James Infirmary

I saw my baby there

She was stretched out on a long white table

So cold, so sweet, so fair

Let her go, let her go, God bless her

Wherever she may be

She can look this wide world over

But she'll never find another sweet man like me

When I die bury me in straight lace shows

A box back coat and a Stetson hat

Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain

So the boys'll know that I died standing pat

Let her go, let her go, God bless her

Wherever she may be

She can look this wide world over

But she'll never find another sweet man like me
