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 straight and tall in his 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 proud to you hold a gun.
Do what the captain says, lots of you will get,
And we'll put them on the when you come home."

As that old train pulled out, ma began to shout,
ev'ryone in the neighborhood:
"That's my son that's to go, he's a soldier now, you know."
She well sure her neighbors understood.

She got a letter once in a while and her broke into a smile
As she showed them to the people next door.
And she bragged about her son with his and gun,
And things you called a good old-fashioned war.

Oh! Good war!

Then the letters ceased to come, for a long time did not come.
They to come for about ten months or more.
Then a finally came saying, "Go down and meet the train.
Your son's a-coming home the war."
She smiled and right down, she looked everywhere around
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 brace around his waist.
He kind of slow, in a voice she did not know,
While she couldn't even his face!

Oh! Lord! Not even his face.

"Oh me, my darling son, pray tell me what they done.
How is it you to be this way?"
He tried his 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 thought it was the best I could do?
I was on the battleground, you were home . . . proud.
You wasn't standing 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 scared me most was when my enemy came close
And I saw that his face looked like mine."

Oh! Lord! Just mine!

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

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