I lived in New Orleans for eight years. This song was a daily, if not hourly, play. This is the first rendition I have heard that made it unique. And to be clear, its hard to add to perfection.
I'd kill to see this band play at a show, with Amigo, Dead South, Goddamn Gallows, and Devil Makes Three. I'd sell what's left of my soul, for this show. I swear.
Lead singer is so stupidly talented. And that face! She’s so emotive and enchanting to watch. I love her facial expressions. She can tell a story with one look
My dad did a cover of this many many years ago. It would be playing on the TV all the time when I was a kid. The other day I showed my nephew and showed him I could play it, my mom heard about it and got upset she doesnt like me bringing him up I usually gotta keep it on the down low. This really made me miss my dad.
I’m sorry you feel like you can’t bring your dad up. 🥺 I hope you find people and places in your life where your memory sharing is welcomed. May his memory and presence always be a blessing. 🕯️
After rereading your comment, I was assuming he had passed on. But maybe he’s just not present in your life, but still on the planet somewhere. Either way my sentiment is the same.😅💕
I could make a conspiracy theorist yarn connected pictures chart to see what brought me here 2 years ago...the final pic in the middle would be Days n Daze the best band in the world
The thing i love about this song is that you can listen to 15 artists perform this song and they'll all have slightly different lyrics that tell just slightly different stories. It's wonderful
@@yourlocalpunkposer8107 idk if i could call this punk though, especially when compared to something like days n daze, this is more like murderfolk or southern gothic/americana
It's an OLD jazz song - 1930s?. It was a folk song that became a jazz song - and a guy named Irv Mills (who was Jewish) had publishing rights/writing credits, so the song has come full circle in 100 years. I like "Klezmer" type music and I like jazz, so this is pretty cool. If you took away visuals and "the look" of the band, you'd be hearing elements of dixieland swing jazz played on what has been popularized as "bluegrass" instruments. It sounds right out of the south but this music was Cotton Club & The Savoy before that and probably in the roadhouses before that. IF you didn't see them, would you still be so enamored of this music? I'm asking myself that same question! I know this song and I think it is great that it is reaching a new audience, so I'd say I still like it.
Well, I went down to St. James' Infirmary and I saw my baby there, She was laid out on that long white table, so sweet, so cold, so fair. Well, I went up to see the doctor, "She's feeling very low" he said, Well, I went back to see my baby, and good god, she was lying there dead. So let her go, let her go, God bless her soul. Wherever she may be. She may search this whole wide world over, And never find a motherfucker like me. Well, I went down to Old Joe's Ballroom, On the corner down by the square. They were serving drinks as usual, And all the usual folks were there. Well, to my left stood Old Joe McKennedy, His eyes were bloodshot red. And he turned to the crowd in front of him, And these were the very words that he said. He said, "Let her go, let her go, God bless her soul Wherever she may be. She may search this whole wide world over, And never find a motherfucker like me." So when I die won't you bury me, In my high-top Stetson hat. Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain, So the devil knows I died standing pat. Six gamblers to carry my coffin, With chorus girls to sing me a song. Put a jazz band on the horse wagon, To raise Hell as we roll along. So bring out the rubber tied carridge, Go ahead and bring out the pony and drive. Twelve men going down to that graveyard, Only eleven of them ever coming back. So let her go, let her go, God bless her soul, Wherever she may be. She may search this whole wide world over, And never find a motherfucker like me. So now, they've heard my story, Well, let's buy another round of booze. And if anyone ever should ask you, I got the St. James' Infirmary blues.
I listened to them after finding them accidentally while looking for a different version of song of the sirens. I haven't stopped listening to them since this afternoon. Adding as many as I could my playlist. This has to be my personal favorite. But of course I love the original cartoon Betty boop cab Calloway original. This just takes it to another level. they remind me of one of my favorite bands from my youth. Squirrel nut zippers from the '90s. If they had a very very naughty side. This song specifically reminds me of Blue Angel, Katherine Whalen's voice is one of a goddess. Just like her here.... AMAZING cover. Everyone involved is so so talented.
So thankful for people that don't follow the crowd and play the same old crap that is considered to be acceptable music, I mean there's some good music out there but love this style of music it fuels my soul, loved it, if you ever come to Springfield Missouri I'll be there, please don't ever quit the world needs it
Hey I like a lot of this music! I used to play guitar in a metal style but now I am learning on a banjolele sort of like Libby's but I cannot get the hang of using a pick in this way. Then I tried plectrums on three fingers ( kind of strange in this setting I know) without success. I am sold on claw hammer! That is a lot of fun and it makes me want a bluegrass banjo. My point to any musicians out there is that you should try a broad range of techniques even if you are comfortable where you are.
I did my best with the lyrics. Lip reading helped where possible: Well I went down to St. James Infirmary And I saw my baby there She was laid out on that long, white table So sweet, so cold, so fair Well I went up to see the doctor “she’s feeling very low” he said Well I went back to see my baby And good God, she was lying there dead So let her go, let her go, God bless her soul Wherever she may be She may search this whole wide world over And never find a motherfucker like me!

So now that you’ve heard my story Well let’s buy another round of booze And if anyone should ever ask you I got the St James Infirmary blues
This is a blue standard. She may embellish the lyrics here and there, but 95% of them are accurate to the first result you would find on Google. You put a lot of effort for very little gain.
Docile Bint tbh I know the original lyrics but it was important to me to know what she was saying and enough people were asking here that I figured I’d post it. Auditory processing disorders ain’t easy so I figured I’d help out. The effort feels proportional to the gain for me
I need lyrics! My hearing is terrible, for I have a hard time trying to understand everything she's singing but I just Absolutely adore her voice and I love them! 😍💘
Love you Libby! Cant wait for the new album to drop and to do the radio interview this weekend. Sooo lookin forward to the next hometown show in Portland!
oh i love EVERYTHING about this! such a gorgeous, talented singer, amazing instrumental work...my god y'all are amazing 😍 the klezmer vibe after the band kicks in is incredible!
We are back, sister! They won't listen. Thank you for giving me a place to love, until we are complete. Thank you for keeping the spirit of light alive through, your darkest energies. We bath in your Harmonic Resonance. Oh, praise the Grand Architect! The beauty of life and death, through the second veil. 🌎 😈🖤🤍
yours is definitely the best cover ever of st.james infirmary, and you know how old and covered it is! Best for arrangement, voice, charisma, power and LYRICS! I mean, you are mount Everest and all the other, closed to you, are the damned everglades...

check out jesse stewarts cover as well!
It really is hard, but they managed it! Very well done!
Born n raised, still my fav version I eva heard
Personally this is one of the worst songs I have heard. Especially such a classic
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'd kill to see this band play at a show, with Amigo, Dead South, Goddamn Gallows, and Devil Makes Three.
I'd sell what's left of my soul, for this show. I swear.
You are not alone my friend come get it devilman haha
Gonna save this comment somewhere to check out the other bands
They're on tour with dayz n dayz. I'm seeing the Baltimore show.
They were just at a festival in Vegas with Amigo. Don't worry, I also missed it XD
Ya add Railyard Ghosts too.
Lead singer is so stupidly talented. And that face! She’s so emotive and enchanting to watch. I love her facial expressions. She can tell a story with one look
So sad that she turned borderline anorexic later...
What instrument is she playing?
@@Hauntedasylum666looks like a banjolee?
Oh interesting. I've never heard of it before. But that seems accurate. Thanks!@@Olivertwiztd
@@toniheikkila5607 you did not just comment on her body like you have anything to say on that. It's so uncalled for. Leave people tf alone
This was my introduction to Bridge City Sinners and I followed the rabbit hole and damn was it worth it!
Haha, same 😎
Same seen them 3 times now, love em
Got my wooden nickels worth
Same
you guys know what happened to that lineup ? it was much better...
This is the sound ive been searching for all 25 years of my life
Emily Foster I couldn’t agree more. Like an itch that couldn’t be scratched.
SAMEEEEE
I’m 42 and dancing round the kitchen!
That was dope as fuck
Sad or funny. Both
That clarinet has a marvelous klezmer sound! I love it! Punk, old blues/jazz, klezmer and old-timey all blended in a most delightful way!
Yes!
Love an electric clarinet solo
honestly, the clarinet makes this song what it is.
I was literally saying this same thing!
My dad did a cover of this many many years ago. It would be playing on the TV all the time when I was a kid.

Shawn Moran Same! Two awesome bands!
@@bogomilstoynov8405 tell me about it guys, never heard anything like this over in Aus

The Goddamn gallows brought me here. All three are great bands

The perfect music doesn't exi-
Where has this been all my life?!? TH-cam randomly recommended this to me and I instantly fell in love
Its like Amy Winhouse got possessed by the devil and sat in a pub while Drop Kick Murphy played some tunes . Giving birth to this. I like it
@@jacklydon3511 you're def one of those fellas .
Or Bridget the Midget
Huh?
@@HighVybeTribe both lol
Good analogy
Starts out bluesy and ends up sounding kinda like Jewish folk music, with a definite edge. I think I like it.
How can you not!?!
*folk punk
@@yourlocalpunkposer8107 idk if i could call this punk though, especially when compared to something like days n daze, this is more like murderfolk or southern gothic/americana

This will always be one of my all time favorite songs
This is made even more awesome by the fact that it looks like they got Daryl Dixon to play the bass.
Sam porter
No, Daryl Dixon.
I don't know how they did it. But they definitely did.
🤣
found my new favorite band :) ms libby is quite hypnotizing. her voice is so unique
You should see em live! Been to a few but the best was at a hometown show in a small pub in Portland. The whole place was jumpin!!
Man, Norman Reedus is killin it on bass
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
HAHA
Yes!!!!❤
How is this not all over every "vocal coach reacts" video?
My thought exactly :)
Fear
Please dont lol just leave it here dont send it to anyone let me enjoy it for a little longer before it gets too big
Fuck main stream
I'm trying, we'll see. 😱
Well, I went down to St. James' Infirmary and I saw my baby there,
She was laid out on that long white table, so sweet, so cold, so fair.
Well, I went up to see the doctor, "She's feeling very low" he said,
Well, I went back to see my baby, and good god, she was lying there dead.
So let her go, let her go, God bless her soul.
Wherever she may be.
She may search this whole wide world over,
And never find a motherfucker like me.
Well, I went down to Old Joe's Ballroom,
On the corner down by the square.
They were serving drinks as usual,
And all the usual folks were there.
Well, to my left stood Old Joe McKennedy,
His eyes were bloodshot red.
And he turned to the crowd in front of him,
And these were the very words that he said.
He said, "Let her go, let her go, God bless her soul
Wherever she may be.
She may search this whole wide world over,
And never find a motherfucker like me."
So when I die won't you bury me,
In my high-top Stetson hat.
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain,
So the devil knows I died standing pat.
Six gamblers to carry my coffin,
With chorus girls to sing me a song.
Put a jazz band on the horse wagon,
To raise Hell as we roll along.
So bring out the rubber tied carridge,
Go ahead and bring out the pony and drive.
Twelve men going down to that graveyard,
Only eleven of them ever coming back.
So let her go, let her go, God bless her soul,
Wherever she may be.
She may search this whole wide world over,
And never find a motherfucker like me.
So now, they've heard my story,
Well, let's buy another round of booze.
And if anyone ever should ask you,
I got the St. James' Infirmary blues.

My English teacher is her mom! We traded band we liked, I told her to listen to Tyler Cassidy

I cannot even believe I just heard you guys for the first time today. My god they are good!!

This song gives me goosebumps. So glad I found this band!
OMG!!!! This is GREAT!!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
All you people trying to compare this band to another, they sound like this or that. They sound like Bridge city Sinners. And you love it.
nice tune, nice puppies !
Definitely the best version of this song I've heard yet
I Love This Band! Please Come to New Jersey! WooF!!🐶🐶
Love your voice! The band completely kicks some ass!
Love this clarinet!
Who doesnt love an electric clarinet solo?
