Walking slow to the graveyard I've lost everything I could loseNow I've even lost my baby I guess I've got the drunkard's bluesIt was down at Big Joe's barroom on the corner beyond the squareEverybody drinkin' good liquor the regular crowd was thereSo I strolled out on the sidewalk began to look aroundLooking everywhere for my baby but that sweet woman can't be foundIt was down at St James infirmary I found my baby thereStretched out on a long white table so cold so pale so fairSo I strolled back down to the barroom to get another drink of ginThe next thing you know I'm reeling rocking and drunk againSixteen coal black horses all hitched up in a lineIn that pretty buggy she's ridin' goodbye ol' gal of mineWalking slow to the graveyard I've lost everything I could loseNow I've even lost my baby I guess I've got the drunker's blues Aus Songtexte Mania
