Time: 3/4

A tall stal-wart lan-cer lay dy-ing
3 -3”-3”-3” 3 2 1 -1
6 -6 -6 -6 6 5 4 -4
And as on his death-bed he lay
3 -2” 2 2 2 -2” 3 -2” 2 3

To his friends who a-round him were sigh-ing
3 -3” -3 4 2 -2” -1 1
6 -6 -7 7 5 -5 -4 4
These last dy-ing words he did say
3 -2” 2 2 2 -2” 3 -2” 2 3

Wrap me up in my tar-pau-lin jack-et

And say a poor duf-fer’s laid low

Send for six salt-y sea-men to car-ry me
3 -3” -3 4 2 -2” -1 1
6 -6 -7 7 5 -5 -4 4
With steps mourn-ful, sol-emn and slow
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
