St. James Infirmary Bobby "Blue" Bland

[Verse 1]
I went down to St. James Infirmary
And I heard my baby groan
And I felt so broken-hearted
She used to be my very own

[Verse 2]
I tried so hard to keep from crying
My heart felt just like lead
She was all that I had to live for
Oh, I just wish it was me instead

[Verse 3]
Now she's gone, she's gone and may God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can search this wide world over
Oh, but she'll never find a man like me

[Outro]
She's gone, she's gone...
She's gone
