That's a good helpful way to saty hello to teh Mudcat.
And your set of words for St James Infirmary aren't quite the same as the one in the DT - and some of yours I think I might prefer. For example, you've got:
Oh when I die please bury me with a gold piece on my hat To let the boys out in the back room know I'm still standin pat. And I want six crap shooters for my pall bearers Some chorus girls to sing me a song Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon We'll raise hell as we roll along.
Oh, when I die, please bury me In my ten dollar Stetson hat; Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain So my friends'll know I died standin' pat. Get six gamblers to carry my coffin Six chorus girls to sing me a song Put a twenty-piece jazz band on my tail gate To raise Hell as we go along
