Well, I went down to St. James' Infirmary and I saw my baby there,
She was laid out on that long white table, so sweet, so cold, so fair.
Well, I went up to see the doctor, "She's feeling very low" he said,
Well, I went back to see my baby, and good god, she was lying there dead.
So let her go, let her go, God bless her soul.
Wherever she may be.
She may search this whole wide world over,
And never find a motherfucker like me.
[Instrumental]
Well, I went down to Old Joe's Ballroom,
On the corner down by the square.
They were serving drinks as usual,
And all the usual folks were there.
Well, to my left stood Old Joe McKennedy,
His eyes were bloodshot red.
And he turned to the crowd in front of him,
And these were the very words that he said.
He said, "Let her go, let her go, God bless her soul
Wherever she may be.
She may search this whole wide world over,
And never find a motherfucker like me."
[Instrumental]
So when I die won't you bury me,
In my high-top Stetson hat.
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain,
So the devil knows I died standing pat.
Six gamblers to carry my coffin,
With chorus girls to sing me a song.
Put a jazz band on the horse wagon,
To raise Hell as we roll along.
[Instrumental]
So bring out the rubber tied carridge,
Go ahead and bring out the pony and drive.
Twelve men going down to that graveyard,
Only eleven of them ever coming back.
So let her go, let her go, God bless her soul,
Wherever she may be.
She may search this whole wide world over,
And never find a motherfucker like me.
[Instrumental]
So now, they've heard my story,
Well, let's buy another round of booze.
And if anyone ever should ask you,
I got the St. James' Infirmary blues.
If you can make sense of anything else being said, please let me know in the comments, thanks!
This song is sort of a double cover of the original "St. James' Infirmary Blues" and the cover of it by The Devil Makes Three

Hey, guys!
Just coming back on here briefly to publicly announce my new account in case there were a few of you who might have been too shy to ask (I know I usually am). Not to mention I'm pretty much done with customization (Aside from a few nit-picky things) and whatnot, so I'm totally ready to be more public about it.
If you missed my previous journal about why I'm moving, you can find it here:
I will no longer be uploading any icons/emoticons, so if that's the reason you watched me, it might not be in your interest to watch my new account.
Although, of course, if you do find some interest in my works, I appreciate it greatly!
Thank you!

MovingHey, guys. I just wanted to say that I've finally decided to jump on the "moving" bandwagon, not because it's a popular thing to do, but because I finally feel it's time for a fresh start.
In case you're curious, here are some of the reasons as to why I'm moving:
-I no longer wish for my old art to define me.

This gallery feels awful cluttered, but with fond memories, of course. I'll leave everything up for everyone to view and look back on for now, but if a case comes up in the future where I'll change my mind and have everything taken down, I'm giving a little warning now to those who have requested/commissioned me or those tha

Okay, Listen Up.

My art has been stolen here:

Please don't act irrational toward them or threaten. Tracing isn't worth taking someone's life, but I am undoubtedly very, very upset that this happened.

Please don't act irrational toward them or threaten. Tracing isn't worth taking someone's life, but I am undoubtedly very, very upset that this happened.
Because of this, I'm considering putting all of my old art in storage.
ALSO, TO ANY POTENTIAL PERSON WHO IS COMING ACROSS MY PAGE TO STEAL/TRACE/COPY MY WORKS:
I check this account every single day.
You are not safe. I am still active.
So if you plan on doing anything to my works, you might as well turn that tail of yours the other way and head home.
I WILL find out.
That is all.

Hey, guys. I just wanted to say that I've finally decided to jump on the "moving" bandwagon, not because it's a popular thing to do, but because I finally feel it's time for a fresh start.

I no longer wish for my old art to define me.This portfolio represents more of my childhood growth more than it does of my growth and accomplishments of today.People on here only seem to have watched me or cared about watching me for my icons/emoticons and I no longer wish to be known for such.I feel the need for a fresh start just in general.-
This gallery feels awful cluttered, but with fond memories, of course. I'll leave everything up for everyone to view and look back on for now, but if a case comes up in the future where I'll change my mind and have everything taken down, I'm giving a little warning now to those who have requested/commissioned me or those that I have made gift art for:
Save it now!
I will give you all individual warnings later if it ever comes to that, but mistakes can still happen, so please take a step ahead of me and save the things I've made for you. I can't predict how I'm going to feel about my old art in the future or if my future will require me to remove all of these from here, so I do insist that you take a few minutes out of your time to save these if they mean something to you (Or even if they don't, who knows!).
I won't be moving right away, though, it'll be a slow process as I transport stuff over to my new profile and what-not, but yeah. Just a heads-up!
Anyway, thanks for reading. I hope all of you do well for now and for the future!
If you want the name of my new account, comment and I'll send you a note, or just note me. I'll respond when the time comes.
Thanks!
