Generate meaning
1
I went down to the St. James Infirmary
2
I found my baby there
3
She was stretched out on a long, white table.
4
So calm, so cool, so bare
5
Let her go, I said, let her go, may God bless her
6
Wherever she may be.
7
Well, she could search this whole wide world over, yeah
8
But she'll never find a sweet man like Harry.
9
Now, when I die, I wanna be buried
10
In a box with a black coat and a stetson hat
11
I want a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain,
12
So all the boys would know I died standing pat.
13
Just a closer walk with Thee
14
Grant it, Jesus, if you please
15
Daily walking close to Thee,
16
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
17
Oh I.. I am weak, but Thou art strong, Thou art strong
18
Keep me Jesus, from all wrong
19
I'll be satisfied just as long
20
Just as long, as you walk, close to me.
21
Now folks, this is the end of my story
22
Bartender, pass me another bottle of booze
23
If anyone should ever ask you,
24
You can tell them I've got the St. James Infirmary blues.
