I've been to Palestine	D
WHAT DID YOU SEE IN PALESTINE	D
I saw the ark of Noah	E
It was made of pitch and pine	D
I saw old Father Noah	E
Asleep beneath his vine	D
I saw Shem Ham and Japhet	F
Standing in a line	D
I saw the tower of Babel	G
In the gorgeous sunrise shine	D
By a weeping willow tree	H
Beside the Dead Sea	H
	-
I've been to Palestine	D
WHAT DID YOU SEE IN PALESTINE	D
I saw abominations	H
And Gadarene swine	D
I saw the sinful Canaanites	H
Upon the shewbread dine	D
And spoil the temple vessels	H
And drink the temple wine	D
I saw Lot's wife a pillar of salt	F
Standing in the brine	D
By a weeping willow tree	H
Beside the Dead Sea	H
	-
I've been to Palestine	D
WHAT DID YOU SEE IN PALESTINE	D
Cedars on Mount Lebanon	C
Gold in Ophir's mine	D
And a wicked generation	C
Seeking for a sign	D
And Baal's howling worshippers	H
Their god with leaves entwine	D
And	F
I saw the war horse ramping	A
And shake his forelock fine	D
By a weeping willow tree	H
Beside the Dead Sea	H
	-
I've been to Palestine	D
WHAT DID YOU SEE IN PALESTINE	D
Old John Brown	I
Old John Brown	I
I saw his gracious wife	J
Dressed in a homespun gown	I
I saw his seven sons	H
Before his feet bow down	I
And he marched with his seven sons	H
His wagons and goods and guns	H
To his campfire by the sea	H
By the waves of Galilee	H
	-
I've been to Palestine	D
WHAT DID YOU SEE IN PALESTINE	D
I saw the harp and psalt'ry	H
Played for Old John Brown	I
I heard the ram's horn blow	K
Blow for Old John Brown	I
I saw the Bulls of Bashan	I
They cheered for Old John Brown	I
I saw the big Behemoth	L
He cheered for Old John Brown	I
I saw the big Leviathan	I
He cheered for Old John Brown	I
I saw the Angel Gabriel	G
Great power to him assign	I
I saw him fight the Canaanites	H
And set God's Israel free	H
I saw him when the war was done	I
In his rustic chair recline	I
By his campfire by the sea	H
By the waves of Galilee	H
	-
I've been to Palestine	I
WHAT DID YOU SEE IN PALESTINE	I
Old John Brown	I
Old John Brown	I
And there he sits	H
To judge the world	F
His hunting dogs	H
At his feet are curled	F
His eyes half closed	F
But John Brown sees	H
The ends of the earth	M
The Day of Doom	N
And his shot gun lies	H
Across his knees	H
Old John Brown	I
Old John Brown	I
