Bilge Pumps - General Taylor lyrics

rate me

General Taylor gained the day

Walk him along, John, Carry him along

General Taylor gained the day

Carry him to his burying ground

Chorus:

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 wa sold Stormy's son

I'd build me a ship of 10, 000 ton

I'd load her down with ale and rum

And every shellback should have some

We dug his grave with a silver spade

His shroud of the finest silk was made

We lowered him down on a golden chain

On every link we carved his name

General Taylor died long ago

He's gone to where the winds don't blow

General Taylor's dead and gone

General Taylor's dead and gone
