Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

John Brown went off to war to fight on a shore
His sure was proud of him
He so straight and tall 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
Make me to know you own a gun
Do what the captain says, lot of you will get
We'll put them on the when you get home"

That old train pulled out, John's ma began to
Tellin' in the neighborhood
"That's my son that's to go, he's a soldier now, you know"
She made sure her neighbors understood

She got a letter once in a while, her face broke into a
She showed them to the from next door
They bragged about her son his uniform and gun
And these things you called a old fashioned war

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

She smiled and she right 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 was all shot up and his hand were blown away
And he a metal brace around his waist
He whispered kind of slow, in a voice she know
And she couldn't even his face

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

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

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

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

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