JOHN BROWN’S BODY

John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave,
John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave,
John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave,
But his soul goes marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
His soul goes marching on.

He's gone to be a soldier in the Army of the Lord,(x3)
His soul goes marching on.
(Chorus)  

John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back, (x3)
 His soul goes marching on.
(Chorus)  

John Brown died that the slaves might be free, (x3)
 But his soul goes marching on.
(Chorus)  

The stars above in Heaven now are looking kindly down, (x3)
 On the grave of Old John Brown.
(Chorus)

(John Brown was a white man. He was hanged 2nd December 1859 in America as the leader of a group fighting to free black slaves)
