John Brown was executed on this day, December 2, 1859.

Lyrics:

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 soul goes marching on.

(chorus) Glory, glory, Hallelujah, Glory, glory, Hallelujah, Glory, glory, Hallelujah, But his soul goes marching on.

The stars above in Heaven are looking kindly down, The stars above in Heaven are looking kindly down, The stars above in Heaven are looking kindly down, On the grave of Old John Brown.

(chorus)

He captured Harper’s Ferry with his nineteen men so few, He frightened old Virginia ‘til she trembled through and through, They hanged him for a traitor, they themselves the traitor crew, But his soul goes marching on.

(chorus)

Well, 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, But his soul goes marching on.

(chorus)
