Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

John Brown went off to war to on a foreign shore
His mama sure was of him
He stood so straight and in his uniform and all
His mama's face broke out a grin

"Oh, son, you so fine, I'm glad you're a son of mine
me proud to know you own a gun
Do what the says, lot of medals you will get
We'll put them on the when you get home"

old train pulled out, John's ma began to shout
Tellin' ev'ryone in the
"That's my son about to go, he's a soldier now, you know"
She made well her neighbors understood

She got a once in a while, her face broke into a smile
She showed them to the people from next
bragged about her son with his uniform and gun
And things you called a good old fashioned war

Then the letters ceased to come, for a long time did not come
to come for about ten months or more
Then when letter finally came saying, "Go down and meet the
Your son is back from the war"

She smiled and she went down, she looked up and all around
She did not see her son in sight
When all the people passed, she saw her son at
When she did she not believe her eyes

Oh, his face was all shot up and his hand were away
And he wore a brace around his waist
He whispered of slow, in a voice she didn't know
And she couldn't even recognize his

"Oh, tell me, my darling son, me what they've done
How is it that you come to be way?"
He tried his best to talk but his mouth could move
And his mother had to turn her away

"Don't you remember, ma, I went off to war
You thought it was the best thing I do?
I was on the battleground, you were home, acting
You weren't standing in my shoes

And I thought I was there, Lord, what am I doing here?
Tryin' to kill somebody or die
But the thing that scared me most, when my enemy close
I can see that his face just like mine"

And I couldn't help but think, through the rolling and stink
I was a puppet in a play
And through the roar and smoke, string, it finally broke
And a cannon ball my eyes away"

As he turned away to go, his mother was slow
Seein' the metal brace helped him stand
But as he turned to leave, he called his close
And he dropped his medals into her hand
