Doc Watson - St. James Infirmary lyrics

I went down to that St. James infirmary I heard sweet baby groan Nobody down there could cheer me 'Cause I know that she'd soon be gone As I was standing there a grievin My heart feeling just like lead Knowing she'd soon be leavin Wishing it was me instead I went out to Old Joe's bar room Most of my friends were there But nobody seemed to understand my trouble I tell you, nobody seemed to care And when i got back to that St. James infirmary All was still as night Sweet baby layed on that long long table She was pale, so cold and white And when I put my hand on her pretty face It was cold like marble stone And I know that no woman could ever take her place Lord it made me feel so alone She's gone, yes she's gone God bless her Whereever she might be If she'd searched this whole world over She wouldn't have found a friend as good as me I went down to that St. James infirmary Heard my sweet baby groan Nobody down there could cheer me 'Cause I know that she'd soon be gone
