1
It was down by old Joe's bar room
2
On the corner of the square
3
They were serving drinks as usual
4
And the usual crowd was there
5
On my left stood big Joe MacKennedy
6
And his eyes were bloodshot red
7
When he turned to the crowd around him
8
These are the very words he said
9
I went down to that St. James Infirmary
10
I saw my baby there
11
Stretched out on a long, white table
12
So sweet, so cold, so fair
13
Let her go, let her go god bless her
14
Wherever she may be
15
She may search this wide world over
16
And never find sweetened man like me
17
And when I die please bury me
18
In my high-top Stetson hat
19
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
20
My gang will know I died standing pat
21
I want six crap-shooters for my pallbearers
22
While a girl sing me a'song
23
And put a jazz band on my hearse wagon
24
To raise hell as I stroll along
25
Let her go. Let her go, God bless her
26
Wherever she may be
27
She may search this wide world over
28
And never find sweetened man like me
29
Well now that i've told my story
30
I'll take another shot of booze
31
And if anyone should happen to ask you
32
Well i've got those gambler's blues
33
Let her go. Let her go, God bless her
34
Wherever she may be
35
She may search this wide world over
36
And never find sweetened man like me
