Great Big Sea - General Taylor lyrics

rate me

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

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

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

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
