St James Infirmary Lyrics


I went down to the St. James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
Stretched out on a long white table
So sweet, so cold, so fairLet her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can look this wide world over
She'll never find a sweet man like meWhen I die, want you to dress me in straight-lace shoes
Box-back coat and a Stetson hat
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys'll know that I died standin' pat

Louis Armstrong (1901-1971) was a trumpet player, singer, and bandleader, and is widely regarded as one of the most influential artists in the history of jazz. Armstrong was born and brought up in New Orleans, a culturally diverse town with a unique musical mix of creole, ragtime, marching bands, and blues. Although from an early age he was able to play music professionally, he didn't travel far from New Orleans until 1922, when he went to Chicago to join his mentor, King Oliver.
