Luyện nghe bài hát John Doe No. 24

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

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

And it was my heart's own perfume when the jasmine bloomed
On Rue Morgue
Though I couldn't hear the bells of the streetcars
By toeing the I knew
And if I were an old man
With my and porkpie hat
I'd hit every jazz joint on
And I'd hit everyone on Basin after

The kept passing as they passed me around
From one ward to another
Like I was an orphan from the lost and found
Always missing the
And gave me a harp last Christmas
And all the nurses took a
But I've been growing listless
I've been again of the past

I'm wandering down to the of the great Big Muddy
Where the shotgun stand
I am seven years old and I my dad
out for my hand
While I drew breath no one me
So they on the day that I cease
Put a sprig of crepe jasmine me
To me of New Orleans

I was standing on the sidewalk in
In Jacksonville,
