Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

John went off to war to fight 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 a son of mine
Make me proud to you own a gun
Do what the says, lot of medals you will get
We'll put them on the wall you get home"

old train pulled 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 sure her neighbors understood

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

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

She smiled and she went down, she looked up and all around
She did not see her son in sight
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 around his
He whispered kind of slow, in a she didn't know
And she couldn't even his face

"Oh, tell me, my darling son, tell me what done
How is it that you come to be 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 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 when I was there, Lord, what am I doing
Tryin' to kill or die tryin'
But the thing that scared me most, when my enemy came
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 in a play
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 that helped him stand
But as he to leave, he called his mother close
And he his medals down into her hand
