I went down to St. James Infirmary
To see my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table
So sweet, so cold, so fair
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She could look the whole wide world over
And never find another man like me
When I die you could bury me in [???]
[That's that] with a twenty dollar hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece in my pocket
And let the fellas know I died standing pat
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She could look the whole wide world over
And never find another man like me

Oops! Sorry, an earlier contributed figured it out! Edwin Clapp and Sons was a Massachusetts shoe manufacturer who made fine alligator shoes and wing tips.

It sounds like Snooks is singing, "You can bury me in Edmund Papp's suit." An Internet search on that name was fruitless, however.
