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
