Part 12 (1/2)

And ...

I saw the war-horse ramping And shake his forelock fine-- By a weeping willow tree Beside the Dead Sea.

I've been to Palestine.

WHAT DID YOU SEE IN PALESTINE?

Old John Brown.

Old John Brown.

I saw his gracious wife Dressed in a homespun gown.

I saw his seven sons Before his feet bow down.

And he marched with his seven sons, His wagons and goods and guns, To his campfire by the sea, By the waves of Galilee.

I've been to Palestine.

WHAT DID YOU SEE IN PALESTINE?

I saw the harp and psalt'ry Played for Old John Brown.

I heard the ram's horn blow, Blow for Old John Brown.

I saw the Bulls of Bashan-- They cheered for Old John Brown.

I saw the big Behemoth-- He cheered for Old John Brown.

I saw the big Leviathan-- He cheered for Old John Brown.

I saw the Angel Gabriel Great power to him a.s.sign.

I saw him fight the Canaanites And set G.o.d's Israel free.

I saw him when the war was done In his rustic chair recline-- By his campfire by the sea, By the waves of Galilee.

I've been to Palestine.

WHAT DID YOU SEE IN PALESTINE?

Old John Brown.

Old John Brown.

And there he sits To judge the world.

His hunting-dogs At his feet are curled.

His eyes half-closed, But John Brown sees The ends of the earth, The Day of Doom.

And his shot-gun lies Across his knees-- Old John Brown, Old John Brown.
