When i went down to old joe's barroom
When i went down to old joe's barroom
On the corner by the square
On the corner by the square
The drinks we all served as usual
The drinks we all served as usual
And the usual crowd was there
And the usual crowd was there
Upto the bar i saw big joe beginning
Upto the bar i saw big joe beginning
With these eyes bloodshoting red
With these eyes bloodshoting red
Gather round and now all you seen us
Gather round and now all you seen us
I'm gonna tell you just what big joe said
I'm going to tell you just what big joe said
When i went down to st.-james infirmary
When i went down to st.-james infirmary
Just to see my baby there
Just to see my baby there
She was stretched on a long white table
She was stretched on a long white table
So cold, so cold, so fair
So cold, so cold, so fair
Let her go, let her go, god bless her
Let her go, let her go, god hurt her
Wherever she may be
Wherever she may be
She can look this whole wide world over
She can look this whole wide world over
But she'll never find a new man like me
But she'll never find a new man like me
Now, when i die i want you to bury me
Now, when i die i want you to bury me
In my high top stetson hat
In my high top stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch-chain
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch-chain
I want the boys know that i died standing pat
I want the boys know that i died standing pat
And if anybody should ask you who's been singing
And if anyone should ask you who's been singing
If anybody should wanna know who wrote this song
If anyone should want to know who wrote this song
Just tell him big joe was here this morning
Just tell him big joe was here this morning
And he was here this morning, yeah, but now he's gone
And he was here this morning, yes, but now he's gone
