I went down to St. James Infirmary
I saw my baby lying there
He was stretched out on the lawn waiting for me
So sweet, so cold, so bare
Hey
Let him go, let him go, God bless him
Wherever he may be
He can search this whole wide world over
But he'll never find another one like me
When he died, I dressed him in straight-leg shoes
A box back coat and a stetson hat
Put a 20 dollar gold piece on his watch chain
His woman doesn't know he died standing pat
Let him go, oh, Lord
Wherever he may be
I know if he searched this
I know if he searched this whole wide world over
He'll never find another one like me
No, no, no, no, no
Oh, no, oh, no, no
Not like me, no
