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
