Luyện nghe bài hát John Brown

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

"Oh, son, you look so fine, I'm you're a son of mine
me proud to know you own a gun
Do what the captain says, lot of medals you get
put them on the wall when you get home"

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

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

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

She smiled and she went 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 believe her

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

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

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

And I when I was there, Lord, what am I doing here?
Tryin' to kill somebody or die
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 rolling and
I was just a in a play
And through the roar and smoke, this string, it finally
And a cannon blew my eyes away"

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