Paroles de Tone The Bell Easy

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
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
From sea to sea and pole to pole
I followed my roving mind 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
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
