Oh, wrap me in my country’s flag, and lay me in the cold blue sea

Let the roaring of the waves, my solemn requiem be

And I shall sleep a pleasant sleep, while storms above their vigils keep

My Captain brave shall read for me, the service of the silent dead

And yay shall lower me in the waves, when all the prayers are said

And I will find my long, long home, among the billows and the foam

Farewell my friends for many a league, we’ve sailed together on the deep

Come let us shake our hands, I’ll sail no more, but shipmates wear for weep

I’m bound above, my course is run

I near the port, my voyage is done.
