AmEAm
I went down to old Joe's barroom
DmFE
On the corner, by the stairs
AmEAm
Drinks were served as usual
DmFE
And the usual crowd was there
AmEAm
On my left stood Joe McKennedy
DmFE
His eyes were bloodshot red
AmEAm
And he turned to face the crowd around him
DmFE
These are the very words he said:
AmEAm
"I went down to St. James infirmary
DmFE
Saw my baby lying there
AmEAm
Stretched out on a long white table
DmFE
So cold, so deep, so fair
AmEAm
Let her go, let her go, Lord bless her
DmFE
Wherever she may be
AmEAm
And I can search this whole world right over
DmFE
You'll never find a sweet man as me"
AmEAmFEAmAmEAm
When I die, please bury me
DmFE
Outside of Stetson hat
AmEAm
Put a gold piece on my watch chain
DmFE
So the boys will know that I died standing fair
AmEAm
I want six gamblers to be my pallbearers
DmFE
I want a working girl to sing me a song
AmEAm
I want a jazz band on my hearse wagon
DmFE
To raise hell as we roll along
AmEAm
Now that you've heard my story
DmFE
I'll take another shot of the booze
AmEAm
And if anybody should ask me
DmFE
Tell'em I got me those gamblin' dues
AmEAm
Tell'em I got me those gamblin' dues
DmFE
Tell'em I got me those gamblin' dues
