Luyện nghe bài hát John Doe No. 24

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

they searched for a mother and they searched for a father
And they searched they searched no more
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 there's no doubt life's a mystery
But so too is the human

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

The years kept passing as they me around
one state ward to another
Like I was an orphan shoe the lost and found
missing the other
And they gave me a last Christmas
And all the nurses a dance
But I've been growing listless
I've dreaming again of the past

I'm wandering down to the banks of the Big Muddy
Where the houses stand
I am years 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 jasmine me
To me of New Orleans

I was standing on the sidewalk in
In Jacksonville,
