Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

John Brown went off to war to fight on a shore
His mama was proud of him
He stood so 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 says, lot of medals you will get
We'll put them on the wall you get home"

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

She got a letter once in a while, her broke into a smile
She them to the people from next door
They bragged about her son with his and gun
And these things you called a good old war

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

She smiled and she went right down, she up and all around
She did not see her soldier son in
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 hand were blown
And he a metal brace around his waist
He whispered kind of slow, in a she didn't know
And she couldn't recognize his face

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

"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 were home, acting
You weren't there standing in my

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

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

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