Janis Joplin - St. James Infirmary Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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!
