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

And away, storm an’ blow!
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
Way, storm an’ blow
Carry me to the buryin’ ground

Oh, we dug his grave with a silver spade
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
A shroud of finest silk was made
Carry me to the buryin’ ground

And away, storm an’ blow!
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
Way, storm an’ blow
Carry me to the buryin’ ground

Oh, you who dig old stormy’s grave
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
Oh, dig it deep and make it safe
Carry me to the buryin’ ground

And away, storm an’ blow!
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
Way, 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 don’t rise again
Carry me to the buryin’ ground

And away, storm an’ blow!
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
Way, storm an’ blow
Carry me to the buryin’ ground

Oh, General Taylor died long ago
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
He's gone, me boys, where the winds don’t blow
Carry me to the buryin’ ground

And away, storm an’ blow!
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
Way, storm an’ blow
Carry me to the buryin’ ground

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 away, storm an’ blow!
Walk me along, Johnny, carry me along
Way, storm an’ blow
Carry me to the buryin’ ground
