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 be
You 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 shoes
A 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 go
Let my Baby go, go, go

Let my Baby go !
