        Dm     A7          Dm
I went down to St.James Infirmary

Dm        Bb7   A7 
   Saw my baby there

          Dm                A7          Dm
She was stretched out on a long, white table

    Bb7       A7       Dm
So cold, so sweet, so fair
[Verse 2]
        Dm          A7      Dm
Let her go, let her go, God bless her

Dm          Bb7     A7 
   Wherever she may be

         Dm        A7         Dm
She can look this wide world over

            Bb7               A7       Dm
But she'll never find a sweet man like me
[Verse 3]
       Dm       A7                  Dm
When I die bury me in strait laced shoes,

Dm                        Bb7        A7 
I want a Boxback coat and a Stetson hat

       Dm               A7            Dm
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain

        Bb7                  A7            Dm
So the boys will know that I died standin' pat
