Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

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

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

That old train out, John's ma began to shout
Tellin' ev'ryone in the
"That's my son that's about to go, he's a 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 door
bragged about her son with 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 letter finally came saying, "Go and meet the train
son is coming back from the war"

She smiled and she went down, she looked 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 was all shot up and his hand were blown away
And he wore a metal brace around his
He kind of slow, in a voice she didn't know
And she even recognize his face

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

"Don't you remember, ma, when I 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 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 came
I can see his face looked just like mine"

And I help but think, through the thunder rolling and stink
I was just a puppet in a
And through the and smoke, this string, it finally broke
And a cannon blew my eyes away"

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