New Burying Ground

(album: The Skiffle Sessions - Live In Belfast - 2000)

Well, I can hear the hammer ringing
On somebody coffin
I can hear the hammer ringing, Lord
On somebody coffin
Well, I can hear the hammer ringing
On-a somebody coffin

Way over, over on my new burying ground

A well, it must have been my captain
(Must-a have been my captain, Lordy)
The people was-a burying
(Must have been my captain, Lordy)
Must-a have been my captain, Lord
(Must have been my captain, Lordy)
The people were burying
(Must-a been my captain, Lordy)
