Henrik Norbeck's Song Lyrics

General Taylor

Sheet Music (and more information about this song)

General Taylor gained this day,
Walk him along John, carry him along,
General Taylor gained this day,
Carry him to his burial ground.

Chorus:
And away you stormy,
Walk him along John, carry him along,
And away you stormy,
Carry him to his burial ground.

And they dug his grave with a silver spade,
Walk him along John, carry him along,
And they dug his grave with a silver spade,
Carry him to his burial ground.

Chorus

And they lowered him down with a golden chain,
Walk him along John, carry him along,
And they lowered him down with a golden chain,
Carry him to his burial ground.

Chorus

General Taylor died long ago
Walk him along John, carry him along
General Taylor died long ago
Carry him to his burial ground.
