Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

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

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

That old train pulled out, John's ma 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 face into a smile
She them to the people from next door
They about her son with his uniform and gun
And these you called a good old fashioned war

Then the letters ceased to come, for a long they did not come
Ceased to for about ten months or more
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 soldier son in
When all the people passed, she saw her son at
When she did she not believe her eyes

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

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

"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 there in my shoes

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

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

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