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 tall in his and all
His mama's face broke out a grin

"Oh, son, you look so fine, I'm 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"

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

She got a once in a while, her face broke into a smile

She smiled and she went right down, she looked up and all

And his mother had to turn her away

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

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

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

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