I went down to St. James Infirmary And I heard my baby moan And I felt so broken hearted She used to be my very own I tried so hard to keep from crying My heart felt just like lead She was all that I had to live for Oh, I wish it was me instead Now she's gone, she's gone and may God bless her Wherever she may be She can search this wide world over Oh, but she'll never find a man like me She's gone, she's gone... She's gone
