At the St. James Hotel outside of Mexico
They say that a gunslinger named Wright died there a long time ago
In a poker game one afternoon, he was called out of the room
And the cards he held, well they fell to the floor
And he don't play cards no more
At the St. James Hotel outside of Mexico
They say that Frank and Jesse stayed there a long time ago, and they
Rode into town like two strangers, and no one questioned who they were
They needed a night to sleep it off
I was all alone in the upstairs hall when from behind I heard him call
You must never never sell the St. James Hotel
The St. James Hotel outside of Mexico
The St. James Hotel outside of Mexico
Well I bought this hotel about a year ago
It was all broken down, and no one ever told of all the ghosts
That still walk the halls, I can hear 'em shooting up the walls
And I know I will never sell the St. James Hotel
The St. James Hotel outside of Mexico
The St. James Hotel outside of Mexico, ohhhh
The St. James Hotel outside of Mexico, ohhhh
The St. James Hotel outside of Mexico
