General Taylor

Oh, stormy he is dead and gone

Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along

Oh, stormy he is dead and gone

Carry me to the buryin’ ground

 

Refreng: And a-way, storm an’ blow!

Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along

Waaay, storm an’ blow

Carry me to the buryin’ ground

 

We dug his grave with a silver spade

A shroud of finest silk was made

 

Oh, you who dig old stormy’s grave

Dig it deep and make it safe

 

Oh lower him down with a golden chain

Make shure that he doesn’t rise again.

 

Oh, General Taylor died long ago

His gun, me boys, with the winds don’t blow

 

He died on the field of old Monterrey

And Santy Ana, he gained the day
