Well General Taylor gained the day,
Walk'em along John carry him along,
Well General Taylor gained the day,
carry him to his burying ground.
Chorus:
Tell me where is Stormy,
Walk'em along John carry him along,
Tell me where is Stormy,
Carry him to his burying ground.
We'll dig his grave with a silver spade,
Walk'em along John carry him along.
His shroud of the finest silk will be made,
Carry him to his burying ground.(Chorus)
We'll lower him down on a golden chain,
Walk'em along John carry him along.
On every inch we'll carve his name,
Carry him to his burying ground.(Chorus)
General Taylor he's all the go,
Walk'em along John carry him along.
He's gone where the stormy winds won't blow,
Carry him to his burying ground.(Chorus)
General Taylor he's dead and he's gone,
Walk'em along John carry him along.
Well,General Taylor he's long dead and gone,
Carry him to his burying ground.(Chorus-repeat)
