New Burying Ground Lyrics - Van Morrison

(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
