Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

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

"Oh, son, you look so fine, I'm glad you're a son of
Make me to know 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 pulled out, John's ma 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 once in a while, her face broke a smile
She showed them to the people next door
They bragged about her son his uniform and gun
And these things you called a old fashioned war

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

She smiled and she went 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
When she did she not believe her eyes

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

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

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

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

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

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