John Brown's Body

John Brown's body lies a-mold'ring in the grave (3x)
His soul goes marching on

Glory, Glory! Hallelujah! (3x)
His soul is marching on

He captured Harper's Ferry with his nineteen men so true
He frightened old Virginia till she trembled
through and through
They hung him for a traitor, themselves the traitor crew
His soul is marching on


Glory, Glory! Hallelujah! (3x)
His soul is marching on

John Brown died that the slave might be free, (3x)
But his soul is marching on!


Glory, Glory! Hallelujah! (3x)
His soul is marching on

The stars above in Heaven are looking kindly down (3x)
On the grave of old John Brown

Glory, Glory! Hallelujah! (3x)
His soul is marching on
