General Taylor Lyrics

[00:01.56] General Taylor gained the day
[00:03.97] (Walk him along, John, carry him along)
[00:07.85] Well General Taylor gained the day
[00:11.42] (Carry him to his burying ground)
[00:15.68] To me, way, hey, Stormy
[00:19.93] Walk him along, John, carry him along
[00:23.69] To me, way, hey, Stormy
[00:27.94] Carry him to his burying ground
[00:31.92] Well I wish I was old Stormy's son
[00:35.18] (Walk him along, John, carry him along)
[00:39.70] I'd build a ship ten thousand tonne
[00:43.30] (Carry him to his burying ground)
[00:47.22] To me, way, hey, Stormy
[00:51.52] Walk him along, John, carry him along
[00:55.32] To me, way, hey, Stormy
[00:59.61] Carry him to his burying ground
[01:03.39] We'll load her up with ale and rum
[01:07.16] (Walk him along, John, carry him along)
[01:11.06] That every shellback should have some
[01:14.95] (Carry him to his burying ground)
[01:17.92] To me, way, hey, Stormy
[01:23.38] Walk him along, John, carry him along
[01:27.12] To me, way, hey, Stormy
[01:30.92] Carry him to his burying ground
[01:35.14] We'll dig his grave with a silver spade
[01:38.95] (Walk him along, John, carry him along)
[01:42.81] His shroud of finest silk is made
[01:46.65] (Carry him to his burying ground)
[01:50.49] To me, way, hey, Stormy
[01:54.23] Walk him along, John, carry him along
[01:58.36] To me, way, hey, Stormy
[02:02.85] Carry him to his burying ground
[02:06.70] We'll lower him down on a golden chain
[02:10.53] (Walk him along, John, carry him along)
[02:14.36] On every link we'll carve his name
[02:18.18] (Carry him to his burying ground)
[02:22.45] To me, way, hey, Stormy
[02:26.57] Walk him along, John, carry him along
[02:30.20] To me, way, hey, Stormy
[02:34.37] Carry him to his burying ground
[02:38.63] Well General Taylor's dead and gone
[02:42.80] (Walk him along, John, carry him along)
[02:46.68] Well General Taylor's dead and gone
[02:50.56] (Carry him to his burying ground)
[02:54.63] To me, way, hey, Stormy
[02:58.40] Walk him along, John, carry him along
[03:02.85] To me, way, hey, Stormy
[03:06.52] Carry him to his burying ground
[03:14.97]
