Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

John Brown went off to war to fight on a shore
His sure was proud of him
He stood so and tall in his uniform and all
His mama's face broke out 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 the captain says, lot of medals you will get
put them on the wall when you get home"

That old 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 understood

She got a letter 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 you called a good old fashioned war

the letters ceased to come, for a long time they did not come
Ceased to for about ten months or more
when letter 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 people passed, she saw her son at
When she did she could not her eyes

Oh, his face was all shot up and his hand were blown
And he wore a metal brace around his
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 they've done
How is it that you to be this way?"
He tried his best to talk but his mouth could hardly
And his mother had to turn her away

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

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

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