Tuning:Standard
This is an old jazz tune done by Louis Armstrong in the 20's, this is Ramblin
Jack
folk version with Dave Van Ronk, a fine duet and a great tune.
[Verse]
Am E Am
It was down in Old Joe's bar-room,
F E E7
on the corner by the square,
Am E Am
the usual crowd was assembled
F E Am
and big Joe Mckenny was there.
Am E Am
He was standing at my shoulder,
F E E7
his eyes were bloodshot red,
Am E Am
he turned to the crowd around him
F E Am
these are the very words he said...wad he say Jack?
Am E Am
I went down to the St. James Infirmary
F E E7
I saw my baby there,
Am E Am
she was layed out on a cold white table,
F E Am
so cold, so white, so fair.
[Chorus]
Am E Am
Let her go, let her go, god bless her
F E E7
wherever she may be,
Am E Am
she may search this wide world over,
F E Am
she'll never find a sweet man like me.
