Buried under my feet there's a man I did meet,
Tally roo ti-die roo aye-ay
He sullied my name so I put him to sleep
Tally roo ti-die roo-die-day
Buried under the hill is a fella I killed,
Tally roo ti-die roo aye-ay
I opened his throat for he looked at me ill
Tally roo ti-die roo-die-day
Hidden under my bed there's a woman I wed
Tally roo ti-die roo aye-ay
She was too hard to please, harder still now she's dead
Tally roo ti-die roo-die-day
Deep down under the sea, a crew of twenty three
Tally roo ti-die roo aye-ay
Those that see them now know from my banners to flee
Tally roo ti-die roo-die-day
So tell all who await that our temper is great
Tally roo ti-die roo aye-ay
Those who don't heed the word cast their hand to the fates
Tally roo ti-die roo-die-day
