The letter "e" in Doug's surname is important when searching YTube for other tunes of his.. If you forget the "e" YT will give you Doug Duffy, world Motocross champion.

Damn Doug that is smooth--soulful.

I so love this song, the first time I ever hear it was the Cab Calloway version from an old Betty Boop cartoon. I've been collecting versions ever since. This one was just so pretty and perfect.

This was once 1 of my all time favorites. Till it was my turn to visit the infirmary. So it has lost some of its luster for me. Still you play it so well. Thank you for the post.

ooooooeeeee! Doug Duffy that was soooo sweeeet! Love the way you tickle those ivorys!

Awesome rendition Doug... Thank you kindly.

Perfectly awesome!

Huh! Doug!!! Congratulations! This version is amazing. This is my favourite song. I love all versions of this song (Dave van Ronk, Henry Red Allen, Josh White, Cab Calloway...) I often play its with a guitar, or sometimes with a trumpet player. Thanks this version!!!

That deserved waaaay more applause than it got.

Great song, great performance.

Like your version, Doug Duffey. ❤️

Brilliant. Perfect.

@WeLoveMarley - "Sweet Man" in the vernacular of the time meant pimp. So it wasn't so much of a love affair as a business arrangement. I've been trying to collect all the copies of this song that I can find, thanks DougDuffey for posting this one, I had no clue about it.

Give this man a cigar. I've always wondered what that line meant.

the earliest version i've got of this is Cisco Houston somewhere back in the 40s. great song. dark, gritty, and strangely life-affirming. and as with all good old folk, it has about a million different versions of the lyrics (only a slight exaggeration!)

dude, awesome version. Bloody wish I could play something more jazzy than the violin!

Oh my god. You make the piano sound so smooth and nice. It's such easy listening. I thought that Cab Calloway was the original composer, but I guess I'll have to look into it more.

@DougDuffey

Жыл бұрын

there is NO original composer; it's a folk song, handed down for generations, changed to fit whatever times. I learned the 'lyrics' [which i kind added to myself] off a Louis Armstrong record waaaaaay back in the day... Thank you.

WOAH! that was really awesome! I wish i could play like you, all i can play is the white stripes version :p hahah

Happy New Year Doug

Growing up in Monroe, La I always knew Doug Duffey was an excellent songwriter/singer that had quite a following. Last I heard he was in Europe. BUT being a home-town girl how could I miss the fact Duffey played piano so well (?!) [He always HIRED the piano player]? aah...he was giving back

Personally, i think it is made up from several old Irish/English folk songs. I did a lot of research about the song, 10+ years back. But, I just put my own version together.

Doug Duffey Hey Doug i miss you. Haven’t spoke in a bit. Im working at NASA michoud on a rocket. I bought a korg Krome to get my chops back. Any time you are in NoLa let me know so i can you see you play. Maybe you can give me tips on my left hand with the keys. Wishing you the best -Daniel

My favorite version is the one the house guy plays on the leno show.

great stuff, perfect voice, can you do a Leon tune?

This song was based on the English song "St. James' Infirmary", (a 17th century hospital). The Infirmary was demolished by Henry VIII to make way for St. James' Palace. The original writer of the song is unknown. The House of the Rising Sun is a variant as is the Streets of Laredo. Same origin.

I was a big fan of Jamil Shariff's rendition at Maison Bourbon on Bourbon Street

god !! ^^*

Folks, I'm goin' down to St. James Infirmary, See my baby there; She's stretched out on a long, white table, She's so sweet, so cold, so fair. Let her go, let her go, God bless her, Wherever she may be, She will search this wide world over, But she'll never find another sweet man like me. Now, when I die, bury me in my straight-leg britches, Put on a box-back coat and a stetson hat, Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain, So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat
