JOHN BROWN'S ORIGINAL MARCHING SONG
Tune- Brothers, Will You Meet Me.

John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave; 3x
His soul's marching on!

Chorus:
Glory, halle-hallelujah! Glory, halle-hallelujah!
Glory, halle-hallelujah! his soul's marching on!

John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back! 3x
His soul's marching on!

His pet lambs will meet him on the way; 3x
They go marching on!

They will hang Jeff Davis to a tree! 3x
As they march along!

Now three rousing cheers for the Union; 3x
As we are marching on!

J. H. Johnson, song publisher, Philadelphia, n. d. (1860-61?)
