St. James Hotel Songtext
At the St. James Hotel outside of Mexico

They say that a gunslinger named Wright died there a long time ago

In a poker game one afternoon, he was called out of the room

And the cards he hid, well they fell to the floor

He don't play cards no more


At the St. James Hotel outside of Mexico

They say that Frank and Jesse stayed there a long time ago

They rode into town like two strangers

No one questioned who they were

They needed a night to sleep it off

I was all alone in the upstairs hall when from behind I heard him call

"You must never never sell the St. James Hotel"



The St. James Hotel outside of Mexico
The St. James Hotel outside of Mexico



Well I bought this hotel about a year ago

It was all broken down and no one ever told of all the ghosts

That still walk the halls, I can hear 'em shooting up the walls

And I know I will never sell the St. James Hotel



The St. James Hotel outside of Mexico

The St. James Hotel outside of Mexico

The St. James Hotel outside of Mexico

The St. James Hotel outside of Mexico
