Am E7 Dm F



       Am      E7         Am
I went down to old Joeʼs barroom
Dm     F              E7
On the corner, by the stairs
       Am      E7         Am
Drinks were served as usual
Dm     F              E7
And the usual crowd was there
       Am      E7         Am
On my left stood Joe McKennedy
Dm     F              E7
His eyes were bloodshot red
       Am      E7         Am
And he turned to face the crowd around him
Dm     F              E7
These are the very words he said:

       Am      E7         Am
"I went down to St. James infirmary
Dm     F              E7
Saw my baby lying there
       Am      E7         Am
Stretched out on a long white table
Dm     F              E7
So cold, so deep, so fair
       Am      E7         Am
Let her go, let her go, Lord bless her
Dm     F         E7
Wherever she may be
       Am      E7         Am
And I can search this whole world right over
Dm     F              E7
Youʼll never find a sweet man as me"

Am E7 Am F E7 Am

       Am      E7         Am
When I die, please bury me
Dm     F            E7
Outside of Stetson hat
       Am      E7         Am
Put a gold piece on my watch chain
Dm     F              E7
So the boys will know that I died standing fair

       Am      E7         Am
I want six gamblers to be my pallbearers
Dm     F              E7
I want a working girl to sing me a song
       Am      E7         Am
I want a jazz band on my hearse wagon
Dm     F              E7
To raise hell as we roll along

       Am      E7         Am
Now that youʼve heard my story
Dm     F              E7
Iʼll take another shot of the booze
       Am      E7         Am
And if anybody should ask me
Dm     F              E7
Tellʼem I got me those gamblinʼ dues
       Am      E7         Am
Tellʼem I got me those gamblinʼ dues
Dm     F              E7
Tellʼem I got me those gamblinʼ dues
