INTRO (Spoken):
You know, I used to hear one of the big band leaders
Do this old song, St. James Infirmary
He had a right nice introduction on it, I thought
Uh, I’ll show you how he started his version, and then
Richard and I’ll tell you how we start ours
[Singing]:
When will I ever be happy?
When will I ever smile?
My baby went and left me
And she’ll be gone a long, long while
Went down to that St. James Infirmary
Heard sweet baby groan
Nobody there could cheer me
'Cause I know that she'd soon be gone
And as I was standin’ there a-greavin’
My heart feeeling just like lead
I knowed that she'd soon be leavin'
I’s a-wishin' that it was me instead
