Devil Makes Three, The - St. James Lyrics

I am completly in love with this song for two for maybe three years now, this version or Louis Armstrong´s or any of them.. masterpiece

This cover has absolutely no reason it should be this fucking good. But it is

now it's rare to find a band that's good playing live, let alone better live recorded

Almost forgot to listen to this today :-)

✝️💜

Mmmmm. Some Fine Music !!!

can't wait to hear the new stuff tonight...

I love The Devil Makes Three. I play it every night! One of my faves, definitely!

To my gorgeous and wonderful ex; that i regret losing and also understand that it was time for us to end. Still love her and miss her, i wish the best for her.

Anybody know the chords

a good friend of mine just died yesterday her son passed a year and seven months before her .. he was a good friend of mine too .. i can surly say that i got the Saint James Infirmary Blues right now .. all she wanted for the last year and seven months was to be with her son again .. now she is ..

My son died a year ago.. I pray I die soon behind him

All I want is to be w him .. This made me cry

Hugh Grant St James infirmery

Laurie! It's Huge Laurie!

Told some dude at work to listen to this band, hopefully he sees this.hi dude.....yeah you.target.

i was at rhete 1st sold out show in hollywood... so damn special

Just got turned onto this band by a very good friend that recently passed.....very cool band and he left me the gift of music !!! Thank you Rick Carson!

Im on my way to Old Joe's bar room

This band has some of the rhythm lost in modern music. Odd combo that works. Talent too! I'm over 70 y/o, and I really like this stuff. My guess would be they have a future!!

you look like a wise gramps

ayyy ;)

1.551 men go down on that old graveyard, only 1.510 men coming back..

Cab Calloway cover...? 😵

It's actually a traditional folk song, said to have come from an 18th-century song The Unfortunate Rake.

this song brings me to tears, reminds me of the day my daughter died. she wasn't even a year old.

Mermaid Man I'm sorry

ruben serrano thank you for that.

Condolences for your loss.

That sounds like life's hardest trial. I'm sorry.

Always stuck in my head

violin sheets for any of this anyone???

plz! That'd be great..someone, anyone

Well, I went down to Old Joe's Barroom
Down on the corner by the square
They were serving drinks as usual
Oh, the usual crowd was there
In the corner sat Big Joe McKenzie
His eyes were blood shot red
And as he turned to address the crowd around him
These were the very words that he said:

Well I went down to St James Infirmary
To see my baby there
She was laid out on that long white table
So cold, so pale, so fair
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Where ever she may be
Let her search that whole wide world over
Never find a man as sweet as me
She'll never find a man as sweet as me

When I die, won't you bury me in my high top Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch hand
So the gang'll know I died standing pat
I want six crapshooters for pallbearers
Pretty gals sing me a song
I want a jazz band on my hearse wagon
To raise Hell as we roll 'long

Won't you roll out that rubber tarmac
Thirteen men go down to that old graveyard
There's only twelve of them men coming back

Now that you heard my story
Have another shot of the booze
Anything anybody should ask
I got the St James Infirmary blues
I got the St James Infirmary blues

I swear, there is no such thing as a bad version of St. James Infirmary. This is definitely the most up-tempo one I've come across, and it works so much better than I expected it would!

Yeah didn't see that coming.. Great stuff!!

Kominiasty

If any of you get the opportunity to see this band live don't hesitate they play even better than recording when they are live.

Gelaar Veer they really do they ise to come to my area once a year in November went twice

I love this song everyone should check out the live version they do with brown bird its awsome..

Wait... they played with Brown Bird?!?!

While this version is completely awesome, I believe the Cab Calloway version was the best.

the 2 dislikes are deaf dumb and blind....why else would they dislike

this is the best band out there right now. they really brought somethin else to the table as well with a bluegrass version of such a beautiful song. its hard to beat cab calloway or louis armstrong versions but WOW! love this band

I know the devil makes three personally
