约翰·布朗之躯 《约翰·布朗之躯》（原名为“约翰·布朗之歌”）是美国南北战争时期的一首著名进行曲。它是为了纪念美国廢奴主义运动家约翰·布朗。 部分人士認為，歌曲中的用詞不雅。后世不断有人创造與貢獻新的歌词，使其更具有文学色彩。[1] 歌词
William Weston Patton 所作： :Old John Brown’s body lies moldering in the grave, :While weep the sons of bondage whom he ventured all to save; :But tho he lost his life while struggling for the slave, :His soul is marching on. :John Brown was a hero, undaunted, true and brave, :And Kansas knows his valor when he fought her rights to save; :Now, tho the grass grows green above his grave, :His soul is marching on. :He captured Harper’s Ferry, with his nineteen men so few, :And frightened "Old Virginny" till she trembled thru and thru; :They hung him for a traitor, they themselves the traitor crew, :But his soul is marching on. :John Brown was John the Baptist of the Christ we are to see, :Christ who of the bondmen shall the Liberator be, :And soon thruout the Sunny South the slaves shall all be free, :For his soul is marching on. :The conflict that he heralded he looks from heaven to view, :On the army of the Union with its flag red, white and blue. :And heaven shall ring with anthems o’er the deed they mean to do, :For his soul is marching on. :Ye soldiers of Freedom, then strike, while strike ye may, :The death blow of oppression in a better time and way, :For the dawn of old John Brown has brightened into day, :And his soul is marching on. 延伸阅读
