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 I was a deaf and sightless half-wit boy
But Louis was my name, 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 prayer

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

And it was my own perfume when the crepe jasmine bloomed
On Rue Morgue
Though I couldn't hear the bells of the streetcars
By the track I knew
And if I an old man returning
With my satchel and hat
I'd hit every jazz joint on
And I'd hit everyone on after that

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

I'm wandering down to the of the great Big Muddy
the shotgun houses stand
I am years old and I feel my dad
out for my hand
While I breath no one missed me
So they won't on the day I cease
Put a of crepe jasmine with me
To remind me of New

I was standing on the sidewalk in
In Jacksonville,
