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 mama's face broke out a grin

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

That old train out, John's ma began to shout
Tellin' in the neighborhood
"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 next
bragged about her son with his uniform and gun
And these things you called a good old war

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

She and she went right down, she looked up and all around
She did not see her soldier son in
When all the passed, she saw her son at last
she did she could not believe her eyes

Oh, his face was all shot up and his hand blown away
And he wore a brace around his waist
He whispered kind of slow, in a voice she didn't
And she couldn't even his face

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

"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 standing 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, when my came close
I can see that his face looked just mine"

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

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