WELL I'M SAVING MY MONEY AND PACKING MY BAGS
I'M GOING TO CUT OUT ON ALL OF YOU HAGS
YOU KNOW I'M THROUGH PLAYING WITH ALL YOU DAMES
I'M ON MY WAY TO ST. JAMES

WELL THERE'S A GIRL DOWN THERE AND SHE'S SO FINE
I'M GOING TO LOVE HER AND MAKE HER ALL MINE
WELL IT'S HER WHO SET MY HEART IN FLAMES
I'M ON MY WAY TO ST. JAMES

WELL WHEN I GET DOWN THERE AND I SEE THAT GIRL
I'M GOING TO HAVE MYSELF ONE BIG WHIRL
YOU KNOW THAT THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
WHEN I GET DOWN TO ST JAMES

1964
