It was down in Old Joe's barroom,
On the corner by the square,
The usual crowd was assembled
And big Joe McKinney was there.
He was standing at my shoulder.
His eyes were bloodshot red;
He turned to the crowd around him,
These are the very words he said:"
I went down to the St. James InfirmaryI saw my baby there,She's laid out on a cold white table,
So so cold, so white, so fair."chorus"
Let her go, let her go, God bless her;
Wherever she may be
She may search this wide world overShe'll never find a sweet man like me."
Oh, when I die, bury me
In my high top Stetson hat;
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chainGod'll know I died standin' pat.
I want six crap shooters for pall bearers.
Chorus girl to sing me a song.
Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon.
Raise Hell as I roll along.
Roll out your rubber tired carriage,
Roll out your old time hat.
Twelve men going to the graveyard
And eleven coming back.
Now that I've told my story,I'll take another shot of booze.
And if anyone should happen to ask you,I've got those gamblers' blues.
Ramblin' Jack Elliott, born Elliott Charles Adnopoz in 1931, is an American musician. Considered a pioneer of the folk revival of the 1960s, Elliott is known for his flatpicking guitar style and laconic, humorous vocals, often accompanied by harmonica. His singing style, tense with a nasal voice, influenced artists like Bob Dylan in his early years. Elliott is a master of traditional American music, spanning from country to blues, bluegrass to folk. Among his most representative songs are "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll", "Big Iron" and "Ramblin' Boy". His 1964 album, "Ramblin' Jack Elliott", is considered a classic of the folk genre.
