Well General Taylor gained the day
|
Walk him along, John, Carry him along
|
Well General Taylor he gained the day
|
Carry him to his bury'n ground
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
Tell me way, hey, you stormy
|
Walk him along, John, carry him along
|
Tel me way, hey, you stormy
|
Carry him to his bury'n ground
|
|
We'll dig his grave with a silver spade
|
Walk him along, John, Carry him along
|
His shroud of the finest silk will be made
|
Carry him to his bury'n ground
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
We'll lower him down on a golden chain
|
Walk him along, John, Carry him along
|
On every inch we'll carve his name
|
Carry him to his bury'n ground
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
General Taylor he's all the go
|
Walk him along, John, Carry him along
|
He's gone where the stormy winds won't blow
|
Carry him to his bury'n ground
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
General Taylor he's dead and he's gone
|
Walk him along, John, Carry him along
|
Well General Taylor he's long dead and gone
|
Carry him to his bury'n ground
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
