The sheet music with lyrics is below - the pages should expand when you click on them. I leave it to you to compare this 1925 music with the second oldest versions of this song in Carl Sandburg's "American Songbag," published in 1927. Whatever this comparison tells you, it will be clear that neither Phil Baxter nor Carl Moore nor Joe Primrose nor anybody else wrote "St. James Infirmary."
