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]
