Been a long time travelling here below Been a long time travelling Here on my own Been a long time travelling here below Going to lay this body down Oh starlight, oh starlight I'm walking through the starlight Lay this body down I see the moonlight I'm walking through the moonlight Lay this body down Oh graveyard, oh graveyard I'm walking through the graveyard Lay this body down I lie in the grave I'm lying in the graveyard | I'm a long time travelling here below I'm a long time travelling away from home I'm a long time travelling here below To lay this body down |
Lay this body down Lay this body down Lay this body down Lay this body down Lay this body down | Ye fleeting charms of earth farewell, Your springs of joy are dry. My soul now seeks a better home, A brighter world on high. |
I go to judgement In the evening of the day Lay this body down My soul and your soul Will meet on that day Lay this body down Oh graveyard, oh graveyard I'm walking through that graveyard Lay this body down Lay this body down My soul and your soul Will meet on that day I see moonlight Walking to the moonlight Lay this body down | Farewell my friends whose tender cares Has long engaged my love. Your fond embrace I now exchange For better friends above. |
