Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

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

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

That old train out, John's 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 next door
They bragged her son with his uniform and gun
And these you called a good old fashioned war

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

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

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

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

"Don't you remember, ma, when I off to war
You it was the best thing I could do?
I was on the battleground, you were home, proud
You weren't 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 that me most, when my enemy came close
I can see that his face just like mine"

And I help but think, through the thunder rolling and stink
I was just a in a play
And through the and smoke, this string, it finally broke
And a cannon ball my eyes away"

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