John Brown's Dream

[00:19.88] On the second of December, we'll always remember
[00:24.83] As the day, John Brown went marching in
[00:29.92] Well, they took him from his cell with a .44 cal
[00:34.34] Now he's gone for the gallows to hang
[00:39.40] Ahh-ahh-ahh
[00:44.68] Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
[00:49.87] And when John Brown walked by on his way to die
[00:54.72] Conviction tortured him
[00:59.13] He said, "Man is depraved"
[01:02.12] And there ain't no slave can dwell here in Beulah land"
[01:09.22] Ahh-ahh-ahh
[01:14.39] Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
[01:19.31] Ahh-ahh-ahh
[01:24.43] Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
[01:29.97] 12 fifes and drums and 21 guns
[01:34.85] As they marched him to the hanging ground
[01:39.42] Then John started laughing, staring up at the coffin
[01:44.32] Said, "No grave can hold this body down"
[01:50.08]
[02:09.28] Mister Governor Wise, won't you read from his crimes
[02:14.49] While they wrap that rope 'round his neck?
[02:18.61] And old Mr. Avis, I want you to turn them pages
[02:23.83] And read what the good book said
[02:29.06] Then John Brown spoke with neck full of rope
[02:33.56] "This blood I shed for thee"
[02:38.69] For the sin of this land can never repent
[02:43.32] Until every slave goes free
[02:48.68] John Brown's dream
[02:51.58] John Brown's dream
[02:53.86] John Brown's dream was the devil is dead
[02:58.53] Ahh-ahh-ahh
[03:03.53] Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
[03:08.74] Ahh-ahh-ahh
[03:13.67] Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
[03:19.35] John Brown's dream
[03:21.99]
