St. James Infirmary (my version) Harmonica Tabs

When will I ev-er stop moan-in’
7 7 -6 7 -6 -7 -6 8
When will I ev-er smile?
7 7 -6 7 -7 -6
My ba-by went and left me,
-8 -8 -6 -9 8 -8 -6
She’ll be gone a long, long while.
7 -6 7 -6 7 7 -7
I feel so blue and heart-bro-ken,
7 7 -6 7 -6 -7 -6 8
What am I liv-ing for?
7 7 -6 7 -7 -6
My ba-by went and left me,
-8 -8 -6 -8 -8 -8 -6
Nev-er to come back no more.

I went down to St. James In-firm-‘ry
8 8 8 8 -8 8 8 7 -6
Heard my ba- by groan,
8 8 -10 -9 8
I felt so bro-ken heart-ed,
8 8 8 -8 8 7 -6
She used to be my own.
-6 7 7 7 -7 -6
I tried to keep from cry-in’
8 8 8 -8 8 7 -6
My heart felt just like lead,
8 8 8 -10 -9 8
She was all I had to live for,
8 8 8 8 -8 8 7 -6
I wished that it was me in-stead.
-6 -6 -7 7 7 7 -7 -6

Play two more times, then:

When I die I want you to dress me
-6 7 8 8 8 8 8 -8 -8
In straight lace shoes,
8 8 7 -6
Box back coat and a stet-son hat
8 8 8 8 8 -10 -9 8
Put a twen-ty dol-lar gold piece
-6 7 8 8 8 8 -8 -8
On my watch chain, so the boy’s
8 8 7 -6 -6 -7 7
‘ll know that I died stand-ing pat
7 7 7 7 7 -7 -7 -678-10

I play this song on a 14-hole diatonic,
Not the Steve Baker model. It sounds OK
On a G harp.
