Am E7 Am
It was down at old Joe's bar room
F E7
At the corner by the square
Am E7 Am Am/C D7
They were serving drinks as usual
Am E7 Am
And the usual crowd was there
Am E7 Am
On my left stood big Joe MacKennedy
F E7
His eyes were blood- shot red
Am E7 Am Am/C D7
And as he turned to the crowd around him
Am E7 Am
These were the very words he said.
Am E7 Am
I went down to St. James Infirmary
Am F E7
I saw my ba- by there
Am E7 Am Am/C D7
Stretched out on a long, white table
Am E7 Am
So sweet, so cold, so fair
Am E7 Am
Let her go. Let her go, God bless her
Am F E7
Wherever she may be
Am E7 Am Am/C D7
She may search this wide world over
Am E7 Am
And never find another sweet man like me
Am E7 Am
When I die please bury me
Am F E7
In my high-top Stetson hat
Am E7 Am Am/C D7
Place a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
Am E7 Am
So they'll know I died standing pat
Am E7 Am
I want six crap-shooters for my pallbearers
Am F E7
A chorus girl to sing me a song
Am E7 Am Am/C D7
Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon
Am E7 Am
To raise hell as we roll along
