Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

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

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

old train pulled out, John's ma began to shout
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 in a while, her face broke into a smile
She showed them to the people from next
They bragged about her son with his and gun
And these things you called a old fashioned war

Then the letters ceased to come, for a time they did not come
Ceased to for about ten months or more
Then when letter finally came saying, "Go down and the train
son is coming back 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 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 his best to talk but his mouth could 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 thing I 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, what am I here?
Tryin' to kill or die tryin'
But the thing that scared me most, when my enemy came
I can see that his face just like mine"

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

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