Testo St. James Infirmary - Dr. John
Testo della canzone St. James Infirmary (Dr. John), tratta dall'album New Orleans Jazz Classics
Lord, after she done did everything she want to do
Anytime she feel like
She'd say what she want to say anytime she felt like
That's what wound her up in the Tureaud Mall
Making her little graveyard play
You know I went down, went down
To the Saint James Infirmary now now
Went to see my little baby down there
Stretched out on a cold white gurney
Had a DOA sticker in her hand
Let her go, let her go, oh won't you bless her
Wherever that little girl she may be
I don't care if she's in heaven or hell or purgatory
She ain't never gonna find no man to love her like me
Looked down her body said, "Baby, when I croak
I want ten dollar gold piece on my eyelids
I want a loaded crap in my shoe
I want the finest working girls around here
I want to be second line right
And I'm so funky, New Orleans blues
Oh, play 'em funky
Lord, it was a cold, cold night late last winter
And you know there was twelve cold
Black horses on Britannia Street, ha ha
Twelve cold black hustlers decked in leather, don't you know it
They were moaning and groaning down at Saint James Infirmary
La la la la, la la la la la
I went down, went down to the Saint James Infirmary now
Just to see my little baby down there
Stretched out on a cold white gurney, yeah
Don't you know the little girl was looking so fine
Mmm, she was looking so fair way down there
Down at the Saint James Infirmary now now now now now
