Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

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

"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 captain says, lot of medals you get
We'll put them on the when you get home"

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

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

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

She smiled and she went right down, she up and all around
She did not see her son in sight
all the people passed, she saw her son at last
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 kind of slow, in a voice she didn't
And she couldn't recognize his face

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

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

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

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

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