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 straight and tall in his 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 wall you get home"

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

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

Then the letters ceased to come, for a long time they did not
Ceased to come for ten months 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
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 blown away
And he wore a metal brace around his
He whispered kind of slow, in a voice she know
And she even recognize his face

"Oh, me, my darling son, tell 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 it was the best thing I could do?
I was on the battleground, you home, acting proud
You weren't standing in my shoes

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

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

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