Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

John Brown 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 face broke out into a grin

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

old train pulled 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 made well sure her neighbors

She got a letter once in a while, her face into a smile
She showed them to the people next door
bragged about her son with his uniform and gun
And these things you called a good old war

Then the letters ceased to come, for a long they did not come
to come for about ten months or more
Then when finally came saying, "Go down and meet the train
Your son is coming back 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
she did she could not believe her eyes

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

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

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

And I thought when I was there, Lord, what am I doing
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, the thunder rolling and stink
I was just a puppet in a
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 brace that helped him stand
But as he turned to leave, he his mother close
And he dropped his medals down her hand
