Verse 1

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright world to which I go.

Chorus
I'm going there to meet my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home.

Verse 2

I know dark clouds
Will gather round me
I know my way
Is rough and steep
Yet beautiful fields
Lie just before me
Where god’s redeemed their vigils keep

Chorus

I'm going there to meet my mother

She said she’d meet me

When I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home.
I'm only going over home

Verse 1

Well, I’m going down to the St. James Infirmary,
to see my baby there

She was all stretched out,
on a long white table
So sweet, so cold, so bare

Verse 2

Let her go, go !
Ahh, my little Baby, Where ever she can beYou may search this whole world all over
But she’d never find a sweet man like me

Verse 3

Now, when I die, bury me in Stetson shoesA Stetson coat, and a Stetson hat
And put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the cats know, that I died fat
Ad Lib

St. James Infirmary, where can my baby be ?
It’s just at St. James Infirmary, yeah
Let my baby go, let my baby goLet my Baby go, go, go
Let my Baby go !
