Tone The Bell Easy

(앨범: Ballads, Blues And Boasters - 1964)

When you hear that I am dying
And my song it should be sung
Just say I lived the way I pleased
And spoke with a free man's tongue

So when they fit me to the stone
And close my grass's cell
I don't want no crying on my grave
A just ring that charming bell

And you can tone the bell easy
Tone it all around
Tone the bell easy
When they lay my body down

I said you can tone the bell easy
Tone it all around
Tone the bell easy
When they lay my body down

When I was just a cabin boy
On the freighter "Annalee"
The first mate was a salty dog
And this he said to me

I'll take the women, wine and song
And life will serve me well
'Cause brother it will be too late
When they're ringing that final bell

And you can tone the bell easy
Tone it all around
Tone the bell easy
When they lay my body down

I said you can tone the bell easy
Tone it all around
Tone the bell easy
When they lay my body down

From sea to sea and pole to pole
I followed my roving mind
I spent the gold of a king or two
And drunk some heavy wine

And if heaven it can't offer me
The joys I used to know
Well I hope they turn the box around
And a sending me down below

And you can tone the bell easy
Tone it all around
Tone the bell easy
When they lay my body down

I said you can tone the bell easy
Tone it all around
Tone the bell easy
When they lay my body down

The things that I have done for love
I never could relate
I passed from a woman's loving arms
To the hands of cruel fate

But if a young girl passes by
And my chest it doesn't swell
Just roll me down to the burning gates
And ring that devil's bell

And you can tone the bell easy
Tone it all around
Tone the bell easy
When they lay my body down

I said you can tone the bell easy
Tone it all around
Tone the bell easy
When they lay my body down

I said you can tone the bell easy
Tone it all around
Tone the bell easy
When they lay my body...
