lyrics
Well Gen’ral Organa she gained the day
Walk her along, yes (alt “Luke”), Carry her along
Well Gen’ral Organa she gained the day
Carry her to her bury'n ground
[Chorus]
To me way, hey Jedi
Walk her along, yes (alt “Luke”), carry her along
To me way, hey Jedi
Carry her to her bury'n ground
We'll dig her grave with a laser spade
Walk her along, yes (alt “Luke”), carry her along
Her shroud of finest vine-silk will be made
Carry her to her bury'n ground
[Chorus]
She choked her foe with a golden chain
Walk her along, yes (alt “Luke”), carry her along
On ev’ry starfighter we’ll carve her name
Carry her to her bury'n ground
Gen’ral Organa she loved and lost
Walk her along, Luke, carry her along
For rebellion’s sake she paid every cost
Carry her to her bury'n ground
[Chorus]
Gen’ral Organa drowned in moonlight
Walk her along, yes (alt “Luke”), carry her along
In our hearts she remains through every fight
Carry her to her bury'n ground
[Chorus]
Gen’ral Organa she’s dead not gone
Walk her along, Luke, carry her along
She’s one with the Force, and so hope lives on
Carry her to her bury'n ground
