Thread Name: Origin: Saint James Infirmary Blues
Subject: RE: Origin: Saint James Infirmary Blues
I have Gale Garnett singing St. James on her "Well Sing in the Sunshine" album and there is a stanza:

Give me a six gambles of tall pall bearers
Give me a corkscrew to sing me a song
Give me a jazz man on my haunts a wagon
Please pray as we go along

Anyone familiar?
