St. James Infirmary

I went down to St. James InfirmaryI saw my baby thereShe was strerched out on a long white tableSo cold, so sweet, so sweet, so fair

Let her go, let her go, God bless herWherever she may beShe can search this wide world overBut she'll never find another sweet man like me

When I die bury me in straight lace shoesA box back suit and a Stetson hatPut a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chainSo the boys'll know I died standing pat

You don’t know my mind

Walking down the levee with my head hangin' lowLooking for my mama but she ain't here no moreBaby you don't know, you don't know my mindWhen you see me laughing, I'm laughing just to keep from crying

She won't cook my dinner, won't wash my clothesWon't do nothing but walk the roadBaby you don't know, you don't know my mindWhen you see me laughing, I'm laughing just to keep from crying

My breakfast on the table and my coffee's getting coldAnd mama's in the kitchen getting a sweet papa talkBaby you don't know, you don't know my mindWhen you see me laughing, I'm laughing just to keep from crying

Sometimes I think my baby's too good to dieSometimes I think she should be buried aliveBaby you don't know, you don't know my mindWhen you see me laughing, I'm laughing just to keep from crying

I wish I had a nickel, I wish I had a dimeI wish I hadn't give myself a fabulous timeBaby you don't know, you don't know

my mindWhen you see me laughing, I'm laughing just to keep from crying

Look at you mama, see what you got it doneYou got my money now you broke and runBaby you don't know, you don't know my mindWhen you see me laughing, I'm laughing just to keep from crying

You made me get mad and you made me get sadGoing get tougher than you have ever hadBaby you don't know, you don't know my mindWhen you see me laughing, I'm laughing just to keep from crying.

Swanee River

Way down upon the Swanee River,Far, far awayThat's where my heart is turning everThat's where the old folks stay

Way down upon the Swanee River,Far, far awayThat's where my heart is turning everThat's where the old folks stay

The wale has swallowed me

They say the Whale swallowed JonahOut in the deep blue seaSometimes I get that feelingThat same old Whale has swallowed me

The sun rise in the EastGoes down in the WestSometimes I get that feelingEvery creature needs some rest

I believe the Whale got sickThat's why I have this bluesI do believe one dayHe will finally turn me loose

Now if I liveI pray, I don't get killedI do believe one dayI will crawl out of here
