Well they hung John in 1859 his revolt did not go fine. Trying to free the was a noble cause, Like putting faith in the Wizard of Oz. And I they've got John Brown in the ground, Yet I know his story's not text-book bound. And I know his body's a away, And I know his have long turned to clay. But I it's time to bring him some respect, After all his spirit be quite abject After being for humanitarian deeds, Giving a hand is exactly what he needs.
