Luyện nghe bài hát John Doe No. 24

I was standing on the 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 born and raised in New
My spirit was wild, so I let the take it
On a barge and a upstream

Well, they for a mother
And searched for a father
And they searched till searched no more
The doctors put to rest their tests
And they named me Doe No. 24'

For a world so and dark
Well, there's no doubt that a mystery

And I'd hit everyone on after that

one state ward to another
Like I was an orphan shoe from the lost and
Always missing the

And they gave me a harp Christmas
And all the nurses took a

Of the great Big where the shotgun houses stand
I am years old and I feel my dad
Reach out for my

So won't on the day that I cease
Put a sprig of crepe with me
To remind me of New

I was standing on the sidewalk in
In Jacksonville,
