General Taylor Songtext
von The Teacups

General Taylor carried the day
Walk him along, John, carry him along
He won the battle of Molly-Del-Ray
Carry him to his burying ground

Way, hey, Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Way, hey, Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground

We dug his grave with a silver spade
Walk him along, John, carry him along
His shroud of the finest silk was made
Carry him to his burying ground

Way, hey, Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Way, hey, Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground


We lowered him down on a golden chain
Walk him along, John, carry him along
On every link we carved his name
Carry him to his burying ground

Way, hey, Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Way, hey, Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground

I wish I was old Stormy′s son
Walk him along, John, carry him along
I'd build me a ship of ten thousand ton
Carry him to his burying ground

Way, hey, Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Way, hey, Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground

I′d build me a ship of ten thousand ton
Walk him along, John, carry him along
And I'd fill her up with New England rum
Carry him to his burying ground


Way, hey, Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Way, hey, Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground

I'd pour a tot for every man
Walk him along, John, carry him along
And a double tot for the shanty man
Carry him to his burying ground

Way, hey, Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Way, hey, Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground

And away, hey, Stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Way, hey, Stormy
Carry him to his burying ground
