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.


And the DT has:

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
