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
