Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

John Brown went off to war to on a foreign shore
His mama was proud of him
He stood so straight and in his uniform and all
His mama's face broke out a grin

"Oh, son, you look so fine, I'm glad 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
Tellin' 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 broke into a smile
She showed to the people from next door
They about her son with his uniform and gun
And these things you a good old fashioned war

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

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

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

"Oh, tell me, my darling son, tell me what done
How is it that you to be this way?"
He tried his to talk but his mouth could hardly 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 thing I do?
I was on the battleground, you home, acting proud
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 thing that scared me most, when my enemy came
I can see that his face looked like mine"

And I couldn't help but think, through the thunder rolling and
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 to go, his mother was acting slow
Seein' the brace that helped him stand
But as he turned to leave, he called his close
And he his medals down into her hand
