Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

John Brown went off to war to fight on a foreign
His sure was proud of him
He so straight and tall in his uniform and all
His face broke out into a grin

"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
We'll put them on the wall you get home"

That old pulled out, John's ma began to shout
ev'ryone 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 into a smile
She them to the people from next door
They about her son with his uniform and gun
And these things you a good old fashioned war

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

She smiled and she right down, she looked up and all around
She did not see her soldier son in
When all the 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 whispered of slow, in a voice she didn't know
And she couldn't even recognize his

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

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

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

And I couldn't help but think, the thunder rolling and stink
I was just a puppet in a
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 slow
Seein' the metal brace that helped him
But as he to leave, he called his mother close
And he dropped his down into her hand
