Well I went to the Saint James Infirmary
And I saw my baby there
She was laying on a long, white table
So cold, so sweet, so fair

Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can search this wide world over
But she'll never find such a little man like me

When I die, bury me in straight-leg shoes
And box-back suit, double cross ...
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my gravestone
So the boys know I die standing pat

Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can search this wide world over
But she'll never find such a little man like me

When I die, bury me in fine laced shoes
A box-back coat, Stetson hat
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my gravestone
So the boys will know I'm standing pat

Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can search this wide world over
But she'll never find such a little man like me
But she'll never find such a little man like me
