General Taylor
[Verse 1]
General Taylor gained the day
Walk him along, John, carry him along
And Santiana ran away
Carry him to his burying ground

[Chorus]
Timmie, way, hey, ye Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Timmie, way, hey, ye Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground

[Verse 2]
I wish I was old Stormy's son
Walk him along, John, carry him along
I'd build a ship ten thousand tonnes
Carry him to his burying ground

[Chorus]
Timmie, way, hey, ye Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Timmie, way, hey, ye Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground

[Verse 3]
We'll load her down with ale and rum
Walk him along, John, carry him along
And every shellback should have some
Carry him to his burying ground
[Chorus]
Timmie, way, hey, ye Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Timmie, way, hey, ye Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground

[Verse 4]
We'll dig his grave with a silver spade
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Nd his shroud of the softest silk is made
Carry him to his burying ground

[Chorus]
Timmie, way, hey, ye Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Timmie, way, hey, ye Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground

[Verse 5]
We'll lower him down on a golden chain
Walk him along, John, carry him along
On every link we'll carve his name
Carry him to his burying ground

[Chorus]
Timmie, way, hey, ye Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Timmie, way, hey, ye Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground
[Verse 6]
General Taylor's dead and gone
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Oh, General Taylor's dead and gone
Carry him to his burying ground

[Chorus]
Timmie, way, hey, ye Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Timmie, way, hey, ye Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground
