New Burying Ground Lyrics

(Trad. arr. Lonnie Donegan)

Well, I can hear the hammer ringin'

On somebody coffin

I can hear the hammer ringin', Lord

On somebody coffin

Well, I can hear the hammer ringin'

On-a somebody coffin

Way over, over on my new buryin' ground

A well, it must have been my captain

(Must-a have been my captain, Lordy)

The people was-a buryin'

(Must have been my captain, Lordy)

Must-a have been my captain, Lord

(Must have been my captain, Lordy)

The people were buryin'

(Must-a been my captain, Lordy)

Ooo-ooo-ooo

Must-a been my captain

(Must-a been the captain, Lordy)

The people was-a buryin'

(Must-a been the captain)

What I'm talkin' bout, well Lordy, well

Way over, over on my new buryin' ground
