Karaoké St. James Infirmary Lou Rawls

When will I ever stop moaning

When will I ever smile

My baby went away and she left me

She'll be gone for a long, long while

I feel so blue

I feel heartbroken

What am I living for

My baby she went away and she left me

No no no never to come back no more

I went down to St James infirmary

I heard my baby groan

I felt so brokenhearted

She used to be my own

I tried so hard to keep from crying

My heart felt just like lead

She was all I had to live for

I wish that it were me instead

I went down to St James infirmary

I saw my baby there

Stretched out on a long, long, long white table

So sweet, so cold

So fair

Let her go, go

God bless that girl wherever she may be

She can search this old wide world all over but she'll never find a sweet man like me

When I'll die

I want you to dress me in straight-leg shoes

A boaxback coat

Stetson hat

Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain

So the boys all know that I died standing pat

Yes I died standing pat

Well now St James infirmary

Won't you let my baby go

I just can't live without that girl because I love her so

I'm so lonesome and brokenhearted

You know that I'm so blue

Without my baby right here by my side
