Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

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

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

That old train out, John's ma began to shout
ev'ryone in the neighborhood
"That's my son that's about to go, a soldier now, you know"
She made well 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 with his and gun
And these things you called a old fashioned war

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

She smiled and she right down, she looked up and all around
She did not see her son in sight
all the people passed, she saw her son at last
When she did she could not her eyes

Oh, his was all shot up and his hand were blown away
And he wore a metal brace his waist
He whispered kind of slow, in a voice she know
And she even recognize his face

"Oh, me, my darling son, tell me what they've 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 turn her face

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

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

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

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