Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

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

"Oh, son, you look so fine, I'm glad you're a son of
Make me proud to you own a gun
Do what the captain says, lot of medals you get
put them on the wall when you get home"

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

She got a letter once in a while, her face into a smile
She showed to the people from next door
They bragged about her son his uniform and gun
And these you called a good old fashioned war

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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