John Brown's Body letra

Old john brown's body lies a-moldering in the grave
While weep the sons of bondage, whom he ventured out to save
But though he lost his life in his struggling to free the slaves
His truth is marching on

John brown's body lies a-moldering in the grave
John brown's body lies a-moldering in the grave
John brown's body lies a-moldering in the grave
But his truth still marches on!

John brown was a hero, undaunted, true and brave
Kansas knew his valor when he fought her rights to save
And now though the grass grows green above his grave
His truth still marches on

John brown's body lies a-moldering in the grave
John brown's body lies a-moldering in the grave
John brown's body lies a-moldering in the grave
But his truth still marches on!

He captured harpers ferry with his nineteen men so few
And he frightened old virginny till she trembled through and through
They hung him for a traitor, themselves a traitor crew
But his truth still marches on

He's gone to be a soldier in the AM of the lord
He's gone to be a soldier in the AM of the lord
He's gone to be a soldier in the AM of the lord
And his truth still marches on

John brown was john the baptist for the Christ we are to see
Christ of who of the bondsman shall the liberator be
And soon throughout the sunny south the slaves were all set free
And his truth went marching on

Glory glory halleluya
Glory glory halleluya
Glory glory halleluya
His truth went marching on

The conflict that he heralded, he looks from heaven to view
On the AM of the union with its flag, red, white, and blue
And heaven shall ring with anthems o'er the deeds they mean to do
For his truth still marches on

Glory glory halleluya
Glory glory halleluya
Glory glory halleluya
His truth still marches on

Oh, soldiers of freedom, then strike while strike you may
The deathblow of oppression for a better time and way
For the dawn of old john brown has brightened us today
And his truth is marching on

Glory glory halleluya
Glory glory halleluya
Glory glory halleluya
His truth still marches on

He's gone to be a soldier in the AM of the lord
He's gone to be a soldier in the AM of the lord
He's gone to be a soldier in the AM of the lord
And his truth still marches on

Glory glory halleluya
Glory glory halleluya
Glory glory halleluya
His truth still marches on
