Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

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

"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 on the wall when you get home"

That old pulled out, John's 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 well sure her neighbors

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

Then the letters ceased to come, for a long they did not come
Ceased to come for about ten months or
Then when letter finally came saying, "Go down and 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 son in sight
When all the people passed, she saw her son at
When she did she could not believe her

Oh, his face was all shot up and his hand blown away
And he wore a metal around his waist
He kind 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 tried his best to talk but his mouth hardly move
And his mother had to turn her away

"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 home, acting proud
You weren't standing in my shoes

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

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

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