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 straight and in his uniform and all
His mama's face out into a grin

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

That old train pulled out, John's ma began to
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 once in a while, her face broke a smile
She showed them to the people next door
They bragged her son with his uniform and gun
And these things you called a old fashioned war

Then the letters to come, for a long time they did not come
Ceased to come for about ten or more
Then 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 passed, she saw her son at last
When she did she not believe her eyes

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

"Oh, tell me, my darling son, tell me they've done
How is it that you come to be 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 it was the best thing I could do?
I was on the battleground, you were home, proud
You weren't there 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 came close
I can see his face looked just like mine"

And I couldn't help but think, through the thunder and stink
I was a puppet in a play
And through the roar and smoke, string, it finally broke
And a ball blew my eyes away"

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