This was a Louis Armstrong cover we would often jam in the watchroom during campaign.

lyrics

Lyrics:

It was down at old Joe's bar room, at the corner by the square
The usual crowd was assembled, and big Joe McKennedy was there.

He was standing at my shoulder, his eyes were bloodshot red.
And he turned to the crowd around him,
These were the very words he said:

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

Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She may search this wide world over
And never find a sweet man like me.

Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She may search this wide world over
And never find a sweet man like me.
