General Taylor Lyrics - Play - Great Big Sea

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 

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 

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 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 

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 

Well 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 

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 

Well a pint of rum for every man 

Walk him along, John, carry him along 

And a bloody great big barrel for shanty man 

Carry him to his bury'n ground 

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 

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 

Well general Taylor is dead and he's gone 

Walk him along, John, carry him along 

Well general Taylor he's longed and gone 

Carry him to his bury'n ground 

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
