St James Infirmary Blues Explained

This is the singer's explanation of the puzzling lyrics of the St. James Infirmary Blues. He has a five-star rated version of the song on YouTube, but decided to post this explanations because he's very happy to have a way of fleshing out the laconic lyrics so they make what he thinks is "perfect sense." Listen to his plain-jane version of the song first, then listen to this explanation. Then answer his questions - what do you think the song means? Even if you don't agree, you may enjoy your visit with DrHanzonScience as he sing the St. James Infirmary Blues Explained. My your days be filled with many joys and blessing.
