Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, General Taylor gained the day
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Well, General Taylor gained the day
Carry him to his buryin' ground
[Verse 2]
Tell me where you're stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Tell me where you're stormy
Carry him to his buryin' ground
[Verse 3]
We'll dig his grave with a silver spade
Walk him along, John, carry him along
A shroud of the finest silk will be made
Carry him to his buryin' ground
[Verse 4]
Tell me where you're stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Tell me where you're stormy
Carry him to his buryin' ground
[Verse 5]
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 buryin' ground
[Verse 6]
Tell me where you're stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Tell me where you're stormy
Carry him to his buryin' ground
[Verse 7]
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 buryin' ground
[Verse 8]
Tell me where you're stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Tell me where you're stormy
Carry him to his buryin' ground
[Verse 9]
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 buryin' ground
[Verse 10]
Tell me where you're stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Tell me where you're stormy
Carry him to his buryin' ground
[Verse 11]
Tell me where you're stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Tell me where you're stormy
Carry him to his buryin' ground
