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!
