往日情懷 The way we were

偶然發現我在1965年的日記.其中我找到當年改編"四兄弟合唱團"的一首靈歌，當時是"為語強說愁"的年代，特別喜歡灰色傾向的歌曲。

我走向聖詹姆斯診所

望見我甜心在那兒

她安祥的躺在靈床上

是那樣僵泠 那樣年輕 那樣美麗

讓她走吧！讓她走吧！

無論她到何處 願上帝保佑她

即使她走遍天涯海角

她永遠不能找到 像我這樣的人 永遠不能

我走進聖詹姆斯診所

寂靜如黑夜

陰風徐徐吹近她的靈床

她顯得更不自然 又蒼白

盡管她生前對我無好感 甚至於岐視

但我仍一往深情 總惦掛着她

我非常疲憊

但一心總想再見你一面

St. James Infirmary
I went down to St. James Infirmary
To see my baby there,
She was lyin' on a long white table,
So sweet, so cool, so fair.

Went up to see the doctor,
"She's very low," he said;
Went back to see my baby
Good God! She's lying there dead.

I went down to old Joe's barroom,
On the corner by the square
They were serving the drinks as usual,
And the usual crowd was there.

On my left stood old Joe McKennedy,
And his eyes were bloodshot red;
He turned to the crowd around him,
These are the words he said:

Let her go, let her go, God bless her;
Wherever she may be
She may search the wide world over
And never find a better man than me

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

Now that's the end of my story
Let's have another round of booze
And if anyone should ask you just tell them
I've got the St. James Infirmary blues
