 Rate St. James Infirmary
Artist : Janis joplin
Song : St. james infirmary
I went down to old Joe's bar room, on the corner
by the square
Well, the drinks were bein' served as usual, and
this motley crowd was there
Well, on my left stood Joe McKennedy, and his
eyes were bloodshot red
When he told me that sad story, these were the
words he said:
I went down to the St. James infirmary, I saw my
baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table, so
cold, and fine, and fair
Go ahead!
Let her go, let her go, God bless her, wherever
she may be
She can search this world over, never find
another man like me
Yes, sixteen coal black horses, to pull that
rubber tied hack
Well, it's seventeen miles to the graveyard, but
my baby's never comin' back
Well, now you've heard my story, well, have
another round of booze
And if anyone should ever, ever ask you, I've got
the St. James infirmary blues!
