Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

John Brown went off to war to on a foreign shore.
His sure was proud of him!
He straight and tall in his uniform and all.
His mama's face out all in a grin.
"Oh son, you look so fine, I'm glad a son of mine,
You make me proud to you hold a gun.
Do what the captain says, lots of medals you get,
And we'll put them on the when you come home."

As that old train pulled out, John's ma to shout,
Tellin' in the neighborhood:
"That's my son that's about to go, a soldier now, you know."
She made sure her neighbors understood.

She got a letter once in a while and her face broke into a
As she them to the people from next door.
And she bragged her son with his uniform and gun,
And these things you called a good war.

Oh! old-fashioned war!

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

Oh his face was all shot up and his hand was all off
And he wore a metal around his waist.
He whispered kind of slow, in a she did not know,
While she even recognize his face!

Oh! Lord! Not recognize his face.

"Oh tell me, my darling son, pray tell me they done.
How is it you to be this way?"
He tried his best to talk but his mouth hardly move
And the had to turn her face away.
"Don't you remember, Ma, I went off to war
You thought it was the best thing I 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 to kill somebody or die tryin'.
But the thing that scared me most was my enemy came close
And I saw his face looked just like mine."

Oh! Lord! Just mine!

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

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