Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

John went off to war to fight on a foreign shore
His mama sure was of him
He stood so straight and tall in his 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 what the captain says, lot of medals you get
put them 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 to go, he's a soldier 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
bragged about 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
Ceased to come for about ten or more
when letter finally came saying, "Go down and meet the train
Your son is coming back the war"

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

You thought it was the thing I could do?
I was on the battleground, you home, acting proud

And I thought I was there, Lord, what 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 thunder rolling and
I was just a in a play
And through the roar and smoke, this string, it finally
And a cannon blew my eyes away"

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