JOHN BROWN'S BODY (HIP HIP HIP HURRAH)
(from the singing of Richard Maitland)
(Doerflinger - 'Songs of the Sailor and Lumberman' pp72-73)

John Brown's body lies a-mould'ring in the grave
John Brown's body lies a-mould'ring in the grave
John Brown's body lies a-mould'ring in the grave
[Then it's hip, hip, hip, hur-rah!
Glo-ry Glo-ry Hal-le-lu-jah
Glo-ry Glo-ry Hal-le-lu-jah
Glo-ry Glo-ry Hal-le-lu-jah
Then it's hip, hip, hip, hur-rah!]

There's my girl with the blue dress on,

John Brown's wife drinks whiskey in her tea!
