a twenty-dollar gold piece
'Oh, when I die, please bury me
In my ten dollar Stetson hat;
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So my friends'll know I died standing pat.'
'St. James Infirmary Blues, traditional American folksong, famously covered by Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, and many many more.
