I went down to St. James infirmary, to see my baby there. She was stretched out on a long white table, so cold, so white, so bare. Let her go, let her go, may God bless her. Wherever she may be, she can look this wide world over. She'll never find another sweet man like me. Now when I die, I'm gonna buy me a Cadillac. A top coat and a Stetson hat. With a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain. So the boys will know I died standing past. I'm gonna buy me a Cadillac. I'm gonna buy me a Cadillac. I'm gonna buy me a Cadillac. I'm gonna buy me a Cadillac. Let her go, let her go, may God bless her. Wherever she may be, she can look this wide world over. She'll never find another sweet man like me.
