Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

John Brown went off to war to on a foreign shore
His sure was proud of him
He stood so straight and tall in his and all
His mama's face broke out 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 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
Tellin' in the neighborhood
"That's my son that's about to go, a soldier now, you know"
She made well sure her neighbors

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

Then the letters ceased to come, for a long time they did not
Ceased to come for about ten or more
Then when letter finally came saying, "Go down and the train
Your son is 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 believe her

Oh, his face was all shot up and his hand blown away
And he a metal brace around his waist
He whispered kind of slow, in a voice she didn't
And she couldn't recognize 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 move
And his mother had to her face away

"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 in my shoes

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

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

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