Tone The Bell Easy Lyrics

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 I spent the gold of a king or two And drunk some heavy wine And if heaven it can't offer me The joys I used to know 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
