St. James Infirmary

(текст записан со слуха)

I went down to St. James Infirmary
I heard my baby groan
No one there could hear me
And that made me feel so alone.

I tried to keep from crying
My heart was heavy as lead
As I looked down at my poor sweetheart
And I wished it was me instead.

Let her go, let her go!
God bless her wherever she may be
She can travel this whole world over
But she’ll never find a lover like me.

I went down to St. James Infirmary
I saw my baby there
Stretched out on a long white table
So cold, so pale, so bare.

I went to see the doctor
“She’s very low,” he said
I went back to see my sweetheart
And she was lying there dead.

Let her go, let her go!
God bless her wherever she may be
She can travel this whole world over
But she’ll never find a lover like me.

When I die bury me with no shoes on
Put an empty whiskey bottle in my hand
And when you let me down to slumber
Just play your sweet music on and on.
