Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

John went off to war to fight on a foreign shore
His sure 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 you're a son of mine
Make me proud to you own a gun
Do what the captain says, lot of medals you get
We'll put them on the when you get home"

That old train pulled out, John's ma to shout
ev'ryone in the neighborhood
"That's my son that's to go, he's a soldier now, you know"
She made well her neighbors understood

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

Then the 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 smiled and she went down, she looked up and all around
She did not see her soldier son in
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 were away
And he wore a metal around his waist
He whispered kind of slow, in a voice she know
And she couldn't recognize his face

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

"Don't you remember, ma, when I off to war
You thought it was the best thing I do?
I was on the battleground, you were home, acting
You weren't there 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 enemy close
I can see that his looked just like mine"

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

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