John Brown's body lies a-molderin' in the grave,
John Brown's body lies a-molderin' in the grave,
John Brown's body lies a-molderin' in the grave,
But his soul goes marching on.
Chorus:
Glory, glory hallelujah,
Glory, glory hallelujah,
Glory, glory hallelujah,
His soul goes marching on.
He captured Harper's Ferry with his nineteen men so true.
He frightened old Virginia 'til she trembled through and through.
They hanged him for a traitor, themselves the traitor's crew,
His soul goes marching on.
Chorus
The stars above in Heaven are a-lookin' kindly down,
The stars above in Heaven are a-lookin' kindly down,
The stars above in Heaven are a-lookin' kindly down,
On the grave of old John Brown.
Chorus
He's gone to be a soldier in the army of the Lord,
He's gone to be a soldier in the army of the Lord,
He's gone to be a soldier in the army of the Lord,
His soul goes marching on.
Chorus
