I went down to St. James Infirmary
I heard my baby groan
And I felt so broken hearted
She used to be my very own

And I tried so hard to keep from crying
My heart felt just like lead
She was all that I had to live for

She's gone, she's gone, may God bless her
Wherever she may be
She has searched the whole wide world over
She'll never find a man like me

She's gone, she's gone, she's gone.
