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 broke out into a grin

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

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

She got a letter once in a while, her face broke into a
She showed them to the from next door
They bragged about her son his uniform and gun
And these things you called a good old war

Then the letters ceased to come, for a long they did not come
Ceased to come for about ten or more
when letter finally came saying, "Go down and meet the train
Your son is coming 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 people passed, she saw her son at
When she did she could not her eyes

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

"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 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 thing I could do?
I was on the battleground, you were home, acting
You weren't there in my shoes

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

And I couldn't help but think, through the 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 mother
And he dropped his medals down into her
