Luyện nghe bài hát John Doe No. 24

I was standing on the sidewalk in
In Jacksonville,
asked what my name was there came no reply
They said I was a deaf and sightless 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 prayer

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

And they all their heads in pity
For a world so silent and
Well, no doubt that life's a mystery
But so too is the heart

And it was my own perfume
When the crepe bloomed on Rue Morgue Avenue
Though I hear the bells
Of the streetcars by toeing the track I knew

And if I an old man returning
With my and porkpie hat
I'd hit every jazz joint on
And I'd hit everyone on Basin that

The years kept passing as passed me around
From one state ward to
Like I was an orphan shoe the lost and found
Always missing the

And they gave me a harp last
And all the nurses took a
But lately I've growing listless
been dreaming again of the past

I'm down to the banks
Of the great Big Muddy where the houses stand
I am years old and I feel my dad
out for my hand

While I drew no one missed me
So they won't on the day that I
Put a sprig of crepe jasmine me
To me of New Orleans

I was standing on the sidewalk in
In Jacksonville,
