When I went down to Old Joe's barroom
On the corner by the Square
The drinks we all served as usual
And the usual crowd was there
Upto the bar I saw Big Joe beginning
With these eyes bloodshoting red
Gather round and now all you seen us
I'm gonna tell you just what Big Joe said
When I went down to St.-James infirmary
Just to see my baby there
She was stretched on a long white table
So cold, so cold, so fair
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be.
She can look this whole wide world over,
But she'll never find a new man like me.
Now, when I die I want you to bury me,
In my high top Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch-chain,
I want the boys know that I died standing pat.
And if anybody should ask you who's been singing
If anybody should wanna know who wrote this song
Just tell him Big Joe was here this morning
And he was here this morning, yeah, but now he's gone
The lyrics SAINT JAMES INFIRMARY BLUES of JOE DASSIN is also present in the album Les deux mondes de joe dassin (1967)
Joe Dassin (Joseph Ira Dassin, 1938-1980) è stato un cantante e compositore statunitense naturalizzato francese. Considerato uno dei più grandi artisti della musica francese degli anni '60 e '70, Dassin ha conquistato il pubblico con la sua voce calda e le sue canzoni romantiche e orecchiabili. Super poliglotta, era in grado di esprimersi e cantare in inglese, francese, tedesco, spagnolo, italiano e greco. Nato a New York da genitori francesi, si trasferì in Francia all'età di 18 anni per dedicarsi alla musica. Il suo successo arrivò con il brano "Les Champs-Élysées" (1970), che divenne un inno nazionale francese. Tra le sue canzoni più famose ricordiamo anche "Salut les copains", "Et si tu n'existais pas", e "Laissez-moi danser". Dassin ha collaborato con numerosi artisti francesi, tra cui Claude François e Gilbert Bécaud. La sua musica è ancora oggi molto apprezzata in Francia e nel mondo.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
