Текст песни «Josh White - St. James Infirmary»

It was down by old Joe's barroom, on the corner of the square
They were serving drinks as usual, and the usual crowd was there
On my left stood Big Joe McKennedy, and his eyes were bloodshot red
And he turned his face to the people, these were the very words he said

I was down to St. James infirmary, I saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table,
So sweet, cool and so fair


Let her go, let her go, God bless her
wherever she may be...
She may search this whole wide world over
never find a sweeter man as me
