Julia Ward Howe also liked to sing the song. She felt that the music was beautiful, but the words about John Brown were not. So she decided to write different words to the music.
Those words came to her that night as she lay in her hotel room in Washington. She was awakened by her dreams of marching soldiers.在北部，John Brown成为一名英雄。他的故事通过歌曲流传开来。这首歌在士兵们之间最为流行，并且成为了联盟军一首非正式的行军曲。
Julia Ward Howe 同样喜欢这首歌。她觉得这首歌的音乐很美，但是里面对于John Brown的歌词却不那么美。所以她决定为这首曲从新作词。当她躺在华盛顿旅馆中休息的夜晚，歌词蜂拥而来。她被梦中行进着的士兵们唤醒了。
