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。George Kimball, "Origin of the John Brown Song", New England Magazine, new series 1 (1890):374. (online via Cornell University) 

歌词

John Brown's body lies a mouldering in the grave; (3X)
His soul's marching on!

(Chorus)
, halle—hallelujah! Glory, halle—hallelujah!
Glory, halle—hallelujah! his soul's marching on!

He's gone to be a soldier in the army of the Lord! (3X)
His soul's marching on!

(Chorus)

John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back! (3X)
His soul's marching on!

(Chorus)

His pet lambs will meet him on the way; (3X)
They go marching on!

(Chorus)

They will hang Jeff Davis to a sour apple tree! (3X)
As they march along!

(Chorus)

Now, three rousing cheers for the Union; (3X)
As we are marching on!
