No. 11. I'll Hear the Trumpet Sound

You may bury me in the East,
You may bury me in the West;
But I'll hear the trumpet sound
In the morning.*

In that morning, my Lord,
How I long to go,
For to hear the trumpet sound,
In that morning.

Father Gabriel in that day,
He'll take wings and fly away,
For to hear the trumpet sound
In that morning.
You may bury him in the East,
You may bury him in the West;
But he'll hear the trumpet sound,
In that morning.
