Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

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

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

That old train out, John's ma began to shout
Tellin' in the neighborhood
"That's my son about 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 into a smile
She showed them to the people from next
They bragged about her son his uniform and gun
And these things you called a good old war

Then the letters ceased to come, for a long time did not come
Ceased to come for ten months or more
Then when letter finally saying, "Go down and meet 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 passed, she saw her son at last
When she did she could not believe her

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

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

"Don't you remember, ma, I went off to war
You it was the best thing I could do?
I was on the battleground, you were home, proud
You weren't there standing in my

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

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

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