John Brown's body lies a-moulderin' in the grave

John Brown's body lies a-moulderin' in the grave

John Brown's body lies a-moulderin' in the grave

But his soul goes marching on

The stars above in heaven are lookin' kindly down

The stars above in heaven are lookin' kindly down

The stars above in heaven are lookin' kindly down

On the grave of old John Brown

    I really don't care for the Bragg version of The Internationale, so I always listen to a French version, but other than that I'm exactly the same.

      Ditto - or the original English translation by Eugène Pottier (who wrote the song in the first place).

      For reason in revolt now thunders, and at last ends the age of cant!

      hits a heck of a lot better than

      Don't cling so hard to your possessions, for you have nothing if you have no rights!

      It's like, syllables, man. They're kinda a thing.
