| UNDER the wide and starry sky | |
| Dig the grave and let me lie: | |
| Glad did I live and gladly die, | |
| And I laid me down with a will. | |
| |
| This be the verse you grave for me: | 5 |
| Here he lies where he long'd to be; | |
| Home is the sailor, home from sea, | |
| And the hunter home from the hill. | |
