and big Joe Mckenny was there.

he turned to the crowd around him
F E Am
these are the very words he said... (wad he say Jack?)

I went down to the St. James Infirmary

I saw my baby there,

she was laid out on a cold white table,
F E Am
so cold, so pale, so fair.

Let her go, let her go, god bless her

she'll never find a sweeter man than me.

Roll out your rubber tired carriage
F E E7
roll out your old time hack,

Now that I've told my story,

and if anyone should happen to ask me,
F E Am
I got those, gambler's blues.

Let her go, let her go, god bless her
