The Ballad of John Brown (today)

Ballad of John Brown (today)
lyrics: Jack Gorbett
           Brian Kuder
            Jesse Paulson

Music: Jack Gorbett

Chorus: Look around, look around

Feel the spirit of old John Brown

I think we're going Kansas bound

Border Ruffians all around

(hmmmmm)

Feeling heat from their sound

(hhmmmm)

Not in my American town.

Verse

October 16, 1859

Haper's Ferry will be mine

I think will march up the Potomac Creek

And disrupt the lives that make men weak

We'll surprise em' and they'll never knew what hit em'

Take the colonel, Washington we'll get em'.

Chorus:

Verse

You'll kill my body,

And the history books will dispute,

In the route, the method, and direction I took,

But there's one thing I know, and there's one thing that's true, the sin of slavery was casted upon you.

Chorus:
