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 tall in his and all
His mama's face broke out into a

"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 says, lot of medals you will get
put them on the wall when you get home"

That old train pulled out, ma began to shout
ev'ryone 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 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 a good old fashioned war

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

She smiled and she 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 not believe her eyes

Oh, his face was all up and his hand were blown away
And he a metal brace around his waist

He tried his best to talk but his mouth could hardly
And his mother had to 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 there standing in my

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

And I couldn't help but think, through the thunder and stink
I was a puppet in a play
And the roar and smoke, this 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 that helped him
But as he turned to leave, he called his mother
And he dropped his down into her hand
