Let her go...

The song that's been going on in my mind: "St. James Infirmary" Click the link for history, analysis.

I went down to St. James Infirmary, Saw my baby there. She was stretched out on a long white table, so sweet, so cold, so bare.

Let her go, let her go, God bless her. Wherever she may be, She can search this whole wide world over, She ain't never gonna find another man like me.

When I die, I want you to dress me in straight-laced shoes Box-back coat and a Stetson hat Put a twenty- dollar gold piece on my watch chain, So the boys will know that I died standin' pat.
