Oh, he captured Harper's Ferry with his nineteen men so true;
And he frightened ol' Virginny till she trembled through and through;
Lo they hanged him for a traitor, they themselves the traitor crew;
His Soul is living on
John Brown's body lies a' mouldering in the grave;
John Brown's body lies a' mouldering in the grave;
John Brown's body lies a' mouldering in the grave;
His soul is living on....
