Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

John Brown went off to war to fight on a shore
His sure was proud of him
He stood so straight and tall in his and all
His mama's face out into a grin

"Oh, son, you so fine, I'm glad you're a son of mine
me proud to know you own a gun
Do what the says, lot of medals you will get
We'll put on the wall when you get home"

That old train pulled out, ma began to shout
Tellin' in the neighborhood
"That's my son about to go, he's a soldier now, you know"
She well sure her neighbors understood

She got a letter once in a while, her face broke a smile
She showed them to the people from next
bragged about her son with his uniform and gun
And things you called a good old fashioned war

Then the letters ceased to come, for a long time did not come
Ceased to for about ten months or more
Then when letter finally came saying, "Go down and meet the
Your son is back from the war"

She smiled and she went down, she looked up and all around
She did not see her son in sight
all the people passed, she saw her son at last
When she did she could not believe her

Oh, his face was all shot up and his were blown away
And he wore a metal brace around his
He kind of slow, in a voice she didn't know
And she couldn't even recognize his

"Oh, tell me, my son, tell me what they've done
How is it that you come to be way?"
He tried his best to talk but his mouth could move
And his mother had to turn her face

"Don't you remember, ma, I went off to war
You thought it was the best thing I do?
I was on the battleground, you home, acting proud
You weren't there standing in my

And I thought when I was there, Lord, what am I doing
Tryin' to kill or die tryin'
But the thing scared me most, when my enemy came close
I can see that his face looked like mine"

And I couldn't help but think, through the thunder and stink
I was just a puppet in a
And through the roar and smoke, this string, it finally
And a ball blew my eyes away"

As he turned to go, his mother was acting slow
Seein' the metal brace helped him stand
But as he turned to leave, he called his mother
And he dropped his medals down into her
