Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

John Brown went off to war to fight on a foreign
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 you're a son of
Make me proud to you own a gun
Do what the says, lot of medals you will get
We'll put 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 about to go, he's a now, you know"
She well sure her neighbors understood

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

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

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

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

"Oh, tell me, my darling son, tell me they've done
How is it you come to be this way?"
He tried his best to talk but his mouth hardly 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 home, acting proud
You weren't standing in my shoes

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

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

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