Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

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

"Oh, son, you so fine, I'm glad you're 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 when you get home"

That old train pulled out, John's ma to shout
Tellin' in the neighborhood
"That's my son that's about to go, he's a now, you know"
She made well 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 her son with his uniform and gun
And these things you a good old fashioned war

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

She smiled and she went down, she looked up and all around
She did not see her soldier son in
When all the people passed, she saw her son at
she did she could not believe her eyes

Oh, his face was all shot up and his hand were blown
And he wore a metal brace his waist
He whispered of slow, in a voice she didn't know
And she couldn't 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 could hardly move
And his mother had to her face away

"Don't you remember, ma, I went off to war
You thought it was the best I could do?
I was on the battleground, you were home, proud
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 thing scared me most, when my enemy came close
I can see that his face just like mine"

And I help but think, through the thunder rolling and stink
I was just a in a play
And through the and smoke, this string, it finally broke
And a cannon ball blew my away"

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