Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

John Brown went off to war to fight on a shore
His sure 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 a son of mine
Make me proud to you own a gun
Do the captain 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 began to
ev'ryone in the neighborhood
"That's my son that's about to go, a soldier now, you know"
She made well sure her understood

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

Then the letters ceased to come, for a 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 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 her eyes

Oh, his was all shot up and his hand were blown away
And he wore a metal around his waist
He whispered kind of slow, in a voice she know
And she even recognize his face

"Oh, tell me, my darling son, tell me they've done
How is it you come to be this way?"
He tried his best to talk but his mouth hardly move
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 were home, acting
You there standing in my shoes

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

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

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