 “John Brown’s Body” (originally known as “John Brown’s Song”) is marching song about the abolitionist John Brown.  The tune may have arisen out of the folk hymn tradition of the American<\/span> Die \"Camp Meeting\" Bewegung<\/span><\/a> of the late 18th and early 19th century, possibly from   “Say, Brothers, Will You Meet Us,” an American Christian folk song. Its earliest date for being written down is in 1850, but the song is more likely dated to the late 1700s, during the Second Great Awakening, a series of Evangelical Christian revivals.<\/span><\/p>\n
