Насколько я помню, вздернуть собирались Джеффа Дейвиса...А вот Глори на Федеральный манер!
(...)
Вздернем Эндрю Джексона
На яблоне сырой
И всю свою команду он
Потянет за собой!
Тело Джонни Брауна
Лежит в земле сырой
Но душа зовет нас в бой!

Вот текст на английском:
John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave,
John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave,
John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave,
His soul is marching on.
Chorus:
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His soul is marching on.
He's gone to be a soldier in the army of the Lord,
He's gone to be a soldier in the army of the Lord,
He's gone to be a soldier in the army of the Lord,
His soul is marching on!
John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back,
John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back,
John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back,
His soul is marching on!
His pet lambs will meet him on the way,
His pet lambs will meet him on the way,
His pet lambs will meet him on the way,
They go marching on!
They will hang Jeff Davis to a sour apple tree,
They will hang Jeff Davis to a sour apple tree,
They will hang Jeff Davis to a sour apple tree,
As they march along!
Now, three rousing cheers for the Union,
Now, three rousing cheers for the Union,
Now, three rousing cheers for the Union,
As we are marching on!
Кстати, в этом варианте нет куплета, который есть у меня в нотной тетради с традиционными американскими песнями следующего содержания:
He captured Harper-Ferry With his nineteen men so true,
So the Old Virginia keeps tremblin' through & through.
They hang him for a trator, but themself a trator crew,
And his soul is marchin' on.
