When Im dead and in my coffin, and my pale face towards the sun,

Go on and leave me, if you wish to, never let me cross your mind,

in your heart to love another, never on earth will I call you mine.

Joolayeeoh, layeeay, layee !

 

When Im dead and in my coffin, and the shroud about me bows,

will you come and scatter roses upon your lovers mound. 

Go on and leave me, if you wish to, never let me cross your mind,

in your heart to love another, never on earth will I call you mine.

Joolayeeoh, layeeay, layee !
