Can you smell the smoke on my tongue?
Can you smell the sweet, sweet smoke on my tongue?
I know you're worried dear, but I'm just trying to have fun.
Never would've done this back home.
No, I never would've done this back home.
But here in the alleyways anything goes.
Why don't you open up your eyes?
You've gone stiff, can't seem to open up your eyes.
Have you died or just lost your youthful shine?
If I had to guess I'd say...
They said we can't bring him back to you.
They said no matter how hard they try he's never going to move.
So I guess I'm stuck in place with these rigor mortis blues.

I went down to St. James Infirmary
To see my baby there,
She was lying on a long white table,
So sweet, so cold, so fair.
Went up to see the doctor,
"She's very low," he said;
Went back to see my baby
Good God! She's lying there dead.
Let her go, let her go, God bless her;
Wherever she may be
She may search the wide world over
And never find another sweetheart like me
Oh, when I die, please bury me
In my ten dollar Stetson hat;
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So my friends'll know I died standing pat.
Get six gamblers to carry my coffin
Six chorus girls to sing me a song
Put a twenty-piece jazz band on my tail gate
To raise Hell as we roll along
Now that's the end of my story
Let's have another round of booze
And if anyone should ask you can just tell them
I've got the St. James Infirmary blues
