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 and tall in his uniform and all.
His face broke out all in a grin.
"Oh son, you look so fine, I'm you're a son of mine,
You make me to know you hold a gun.
Do what the captain says, lots of medals you get,
And we'll put them on the wall when you home."

As that old train pulled out, John's ma 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 once in a and her face broke into a smile
As she them to the people from next door.
And she about her son with his uniform and gun,
And these you called a good old-fashioned war.

Oh! old-fashioned war!

Then the letters ceased to come, for a long they did not come.
ceased to come for about ten months or more.
Then a letter came saying, "Go down and meet the train.
Your son's home from the war."
She smiled and went right down, she looked everywhere
But she not see her soldier son in sight.
But as all the passed, she saw her son at last,
she did she could hardly believe her eyes.

Oh his face was all shot up and his hand was all off
And he wore a metal brace his waist.
He kind of slow, in a voice she did not know,
While she couldn't recognize his face!

Oh! Lord! Not recognize his face.

"Oh tell me, my darling son, tell me what they done.
How is it you come to be way?"
He his best to talk but his mouth could hardly move
And the mother had to her face away.
"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 . . . acting proud.
You wasn't there in my shoes."

"Oh, and I thought when I was there, God, what am I here?
I'm a-tryin' to somebody or die tryin'.
But the thing that scared me most was when my enemy came
And I saw that his face just like mine."

Oh! Lord! like mine!

"And I couldn't help but think, through the thunder and stink,
That I was just a in a play.
And through the and smoke, this string is finally broke,
And a cannon blew my eyes away."

As he turned away to walk, his Ma was in shock
At the metal brace that helped him stand.
But as he turned to go, he called his mother
And he dropped his down into her hand.
