St. James Infirmary (Doc Watson)

		 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 laid out on a cold white table, 
    F       E        Am
so cold, so pale, 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 sweeter man than me. 
 
 Am         E              Am
When I die, please bury me , 
              F       E   E7
in a high top Stetson hat, 
      Am        E         Am
put a 20 dollar goldpiece on my watch chain, 
    F          E            Am
so god know I died standing pat. 
 
 Am            E                Am
I want 6 crap shooters for pall bearers, 
             F         E    E7
chorus gonna sing me a song, 
      Am        E            Am
put a jazz band on my hearse wagon,to 
      F        E      Am
raise hell, as I roll along. 
 
CHORUS 
 
 Am           E            Am
Roll out your rubber tired carriage 
              F        E    E7
roll out your old time hack, 
 Am     E           Am
12 men going to the graveyard and only 
 F  E     Am
11 coming back 
 
 Am           E       Am
Now that I've told my story, 
                  F       E     E7
I'll take another shot of booze, 
       Am            E         Am
and if anyone should happen to ask me, 
   F         E         Am
I got those, gambler's blues.
