I went down to Old Joe's Bar
|
On the corner by the square
|
All the men were having drinks, same as usual
|
And the same old crowd was there
|
|
Oh, no...
|
|
On my left stood my good friend, Joseph McGinley
|
Oh his eyes were blood-shot and red
|
And he turned to the people standing by him
|
and these are the words he said...
|
I went down to that St James Infirmary
|
They had my baby there
|
She was lying on a long, long white table, yeah
|
So cold, so still...she was dead
|
|
Oh no..
|
|
Let her go
|
Let her go God bless her
|
Wherever she may be
|
She can search, search this whole world wide over
|
But she'll never, find another man as good as me
|
|
No she'll never, never find another man
|
Who'll treat her like I did
|
Give her all my money, yeah
|
Never find another man like me
|
No, she'll never
|
Find another man
|
Who'll treat her like I did
|
