Luyện nghe bài hát John Doe No. 24

I was on the sidewalk in 1945
In Jacksonville,
When asked what my name was there came no
They said I was a deaf and sightless boy
But was my name, though I could not say it
I was and raised in New Orleans
My was wild, so I let the river take it
On a barge and a upstream

Well they searched for a mother and they searched for a
And searched till they searched no more
The put to rest their scientific tests
And named me "John Doe No. 24"
And they all their heads in pity
For a world so and dark
there's no doubt that life's a mystery
But so too is the human

And it was my heart's own perfume the crepe jasmine bloomed
On Rue Avenue
Though I couldn't hear the of the streetcars coming
By the track I knew
And if I an old man returning
With my and porkpie hat
I'd hit jazz joint on Bourbon
And I'd hit everyone on Basin after

The years kept passing as passed me around
From one ward to another
Like I was an orphan shoe from the and found
missing the other
And they gave me a harp last
And all the took a dance
But lately I've been listless
been dreaming again of the past

I'm wandering to the banks of the great Big Muddy
the shotgun houses stand
I am seven old and I feel my dad
Reach out for my
While I drew no one missed me
So won't on the day that I cease
Put a sprig of crepe with me
To remind me of New

I was on the sidewalk in 1945
In Jacksonville,
