Glory, Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory, Glory! Hallelujah!

His soul is marching on



His soul is marching on

John Brown died that the slave might be free,

John Brown died that the slave might be free,

But his soul is marching on!

John Brown's body lies a-mold'ring in the grave

John Brown's body lies a-mold'ring in the grave

John Brown's body lies a-mold'ring in the grave

His soul goes marching on





Glory, Glory! Hallelujah!
