Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

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

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

That old train 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 made sure her neighbors understood

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

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

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

Oh, his face was all shot up and his hand blown away
And he a metal brace around his waist
He whispered kind of slow, in a voice she know
And she couldn't recognize his face

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

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

And I when I was there, Lord, what am I doing 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 just mine"

And I couldn't help but think, through the rolling and stink
I was just a puppet in a
And through the and smoke, this string, it finally broke
And a ball 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 down into her hand
