St James Infirmary Blues - Bobby Bland

I went down to St. James Infirmary

And I heard my baby goan

And I felt so broken hearted

She used to be my very own

I tried so hard to keep from crying

My heart felt just like lead

She was all that I had to live for

Oh, I wish it was me instead

Now she’s gone, she’s gone and may God bless her

Wherever she may be

She can search this wide world over

Oh, but she’ll never find a man like me

She’s gone, she’s gone…

She’s gone
