I went down to the St. James Infirmary
I heard my baby moan
I felt so broken hearted
That woman used to be my own
So let her go
Let her go
God bless her
Wherever she may be
She might search this whole world over
She ain't never gonna find
A simple man like me
Now I went down
To old Joe's barroom
It stands down on the square
They was drinking cold hard liquor
And all the regular crowd was there
So let her go
Let her go
God bless her
Wherever she may be
She may search this whole world over
She ain't never gonna find
A simple man like me
Down at the St. James Infirmary
St. James Infirmary
St. James Infirmary
I heard my baby groan
Down at the St. James
James Infirmary
