General Taylor                                   
Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com


General Taylor gained the day
Walk him along,
John, Carry him along

General Taylor gained the day
Carry him to his burying ground

CHORUS after each verse

To me way, hey, hey Stormy Walk him along,

John, carry him along Way, hey, hey,

 Stormy Carry him to his burying ground

I wish I was old Stormy's son
Walk him along, John, Carry him along

I'd build me a ship of ten thousand ton
Carry him to his burying ground
Chorus


I'd load her down with ale and rum
Walk him along, John, Carry him along

And every shellback should have some
Carry him to his burying ground Chorus:


We dug his grave with a silver spade
Walk him along, John, Carry him along

His shroud of the finest silk was made
Carry him to his burying ground
Chorus:


We lowered him down on a golden chain
Walk him along, John, Carry him along

On every link we carved his name
Carry him to his burying ground


General Taylor died long ago
Walk him along, John, Carry him along

He's gone to where the winds don't blow
Carry him to his burying ground Chorus


General Taylor's dead and gone
Walk him along, John, Carry him along

General Taylor's dead and gone
Carry him to his burying ground
