Luyện nghe bài hát John Doe No. 24

I was standing on the in 1945
In Jacksonville,
When asked what my name was there no reply
said 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 searched for a
And searched for a father
And they searched they searched no more
The put to rest their scientific tests
And named me 'John Doe No. 24'

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

And it was my heart's own
When the crepe jasmine bloomed on Rue Avenue
Though I couldn't hear the
Of the streetcars coming by 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 on Basin after that

The years kept passing as they passed me
From one state to another
Like I was an orphan shoe the lost and found
Always the other

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

I'm wandering down to the
Of the great Big Muddy where the shotgun houses
I am seven old and I feel 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 with me
To me of New Orleans

I was standing on the sidewalk in
In Jacksonville,
