St James's Surgery

Not to be confused with St James Infirmary

I went down to Saint James infirmary,
to see if my baby's there.
She was stretched out on a long white table,
so sweet, so cold, so fair.

Let her go, let her go, god bless her
wherever she may be.
She can look this whole world all over
and never find another man like me.

When I die you can bury me in Edwin Clapp shoes,
a box-back coat and a Stetson hat.
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece in my pocket
and let the fellas know I died standing pat.

Let her go, let her go, god bless her
wherever she may be.
She can look this whole world all over
and never find another man like me.
