Have listened to the tune and caught most of the lyrics - need help with bits of it if anyone else knows it, some words are not right or missing : John Brown's Dance (Jed Marum) Charlestown now and it's December morn The gatherin' crowd neither weep nor mourn A rousing tune with the fanfare born As you come to the end of the line The snares drums rollin' while the piper plays It's time to pay for your murderous ways Your treachorous trading in your traitorous days You've come to the end of the line Oh John Brown, the sun is pourin' down You're gonna see the hangman marchin' through the town Feet in the air and the world is spinnin' round When you dance on the end of the line Shenandoah round your gallows f---- Gentle winds of Virginia blow Your lifeless body swinging to and fro Now you've come to the end of the line The cheers flow for justice and the Lord be praised For John Brown mouldering' in his grave The free, the honest and the righteous say He's come to the end of the line
