JOHN BROWN (P. H. Matthews) Oh, there is great news come from Charlestown: 'Tis all about the hanging of old John Brown; He tried all his best to set the niggers free, And for it he had to hang upon the gallows' tree. It happened at Harper's Ferry, as you already know, He tried all his best, but he found it was no go; He gave to the niggers spears, pistols and guns, And in the struggle he lost his two sons. So, all you, old men, who wish to set the niggers free, Just think of John Brown and the gallows' tree; And oh ye, abolitionists, before it is too late, Think of John Brown and of his sad fate. @America @civilwar @confederate filename[ HANGJBRN Feb07 ![]() 8note Sheet> |
