Well,
G#m D# G#m E D# D#7
I went down to St. James' Infirmary and I saw my baby there,
G#m D# G#m E D# G#m
She was laid out on that long white table, so sweet, so cold, so fair.
G#m D# G#m E D# D#7
Well, I went up to see the doctor, "She's feeling very low" he said,
G#m D# G#m E D# G#m
Well, I went back to see my baby, and good god, she was lying there dead.
[Chorus]
G#m D# G#m
So let her go, let her go, God bless her soul.
E D# D#7
Wherever she may be.
G#m D# G#m
She may search this whole wide world over,
E D# G#m D# G#m
And never find a motherfucker like me.
[Instrumental]
G#m D# G#m
Well, I went down to Old Joe's Ballroom,
E D# D#7
On the corner down by the square.
G#m D# G#m
They were serving drinks as usual,
E D# G#m
And all the usual folks were there.
G#m D# G#m
Well, to my left stood Old Joe McKennedy,
E D# D#7
His eyes were bloodshot red.
G#m D# G#m
And he turned to the crowd in front of him,
E D# G#m
And these were the very words that he said.
[Chorus]
G#m D# G#m
He said, "Let her go, let her go, God bless her soul
E D# D#7
Wherever she may be.
G#m D# G#m
She may search this whole wide world over,
E D# G#m D# G#m
And never find a motherfucker like me."
[Instrumental]
G#m D# G#m
So when I die won't you bury me,
E D# D#7
In my high-top Stetson hat.
G#m D# G#m
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain,
E D# G#m
So the devil knows I died standing pat.
G#m D# G#m
Six gamblers to carry my coffin,
E D# D#7
With chorus girls to sing me a song.
G#m D# G#m
Put a jazz band on the horse wagon,
E D# G#m D# G#m
To raise Hell as we roll along.
[Instrumental]
G#m D# G#m
So bring out the rubber tied carridge,
E D# D#7
Go ahead and bring out the pony and drive.
G#m D# G#m
Twelve men going down to that graveyard,
E D# G#m
Only eleven of them ever coming back.
[Chorus]
G#m D# G#m
So let her go, let her go, God bless her soul,
E D# D#7
Wherever she may be.
G#m D# G#m
She may search this whole wide world over,
E D# G#m D# G#m
And never find a motherfucker like me.
[Instrumental]
G#m D# G#m
So now, they've heard my story,
E D# D#7
Well, let's buy another round of booze.
G#m D# G#m
And if anyone ever should ask you,
E D# G#m D# G#m
I got the St. James' Infirmary blues.
