General Taylor

Oh, stormy he is dead and gone
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
Yes, stormy he is dead and gone
Carry me to the buryin' ground
And a-way, storm an' blow!
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
Waaay, storm an' blow
Carry me to the buryin' ground
Well we dug his grave with a silver spade
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
His shroud of finest silk was made
Carry me to the buryin' ground
And a-way, storm an' blow!
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
Waaay, storm an' blow
Carry me to the buryin' ground
Oh, you who dig old stormy’s grave
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
Well dig it deep and make it safe
Carry me to the buryin' ground
And a-way, storm an' blow!
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
Waaay, storm an' blow
Carry me to the buryin' ground
Oh lower him down with a golden chain
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
Make sure that he won’t rise again.
Carry me to the buryin' ground
And a-way, storm an' blow!
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
Waaay, storm an' blow
Carry me to the buryin' ground
Oh, General Taylor died long ago
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
His gun, me boys, where the winds don’t blow
Carry me to the buryin' ground
And a-way, storm an' blow!
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
Waaay, storm an' blow
Carry me to the buryin' ground
Well he died on the field of old Monterrey
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
And Santy Ana, he gained the day
Carry me to the buryin' ground
And a-way, storm an' blow!
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
Waaay, storm an' blow
Carry me to the buryin' ground
Well hold my boys and wake the dead
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
And then my boys we’ll all go to bed
Carry me to the buryin' ground
And a-way, storm an' blow!
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
Waaay, storm an' blow
Carry me to the buryin' ground
