[00:00.00]90听音乐网 www.90T8.com[00:25.92]John Brown went off to war called to battle on a foreign shore
[00:31.20]And his mother she sure was proud of him
[00:37.89]When he stood so straight and tall in his uniform and all
[00:42.84]His mother's face broke out in a glowing grin
[00:47.48]She said Son you look so fine I'm so glad you're a son of mine
[00:59.01]You make me proud to know you hold a gun
[01:03.64]Do what your captain says an lots of medals you will get
[01:08.49]Then we'll hang them on the wall when you come home
[01:14.95]As that evening train pulled out John's ma began to shout
[01:20.22]Telling everybody in the neighborhood
[01:24.28]That's my son that's about to go he's a soldier now you know
[01:29.26]And she made well sure her neighbors understood
[01:49.14]She got a letter once in a while and her face broke into a smile
[01:55.22]Then she showed them to the people from next door
[02:02.18]And she bragged about her son with his uniform and gun
[02:06.98]And this thing they called a good old-fashioned war
[02:13.70]Then the letters ceased to come
[02:15.62]For a long time they did not come
[02:19.67]Ceased to come for about ten months or more
[02:26.31]Then when letter finally came saying
[02:28.71]Go down and meet the train
[02:31.15]Your son is coming back from the war
[02:49.93]She smiled and she went right down she looked up and all around
[02:55.53]She did not see her soldier son in sight
[03:00.25]When all the people passed she saw her son at last
[03:04.65]When she did she could not believe her eyes
[03:09.37]His face was all shot up and his hand were blown away
[03:13.85]And he wore a metal brace around his waist
[03:18.16]He whispered kind of slow in a voice she didn't know
[03:23.84]And she couldn't even recognize his face
[03:31.67]Oh my darling son tell me what they've done
[03:37.55]How is it that you come to be this way
[03:44.23]He tried his best to talk but his mouth could hardly move
[03:49.61]And his mother had to turn her face away
[03:59.24]Don't you remember ma when I went off to war
[04:05.48]You thought it was the best thing I could do
[04:09.98]I was on the battleground you were home acting proud
[04:15.46]You weren't there standing in my shoes
[04:22.14]And I thought when I was there Lord what am I doing here
[04:27.56]Tryin' to kill somebody or die tryin'
[04:31.86]But the thing that scared me most when my enemy came close
[04:35.81]I can see that his face looked just like mine
[04:57.24]And I couldn't help but think through the thunder rolling and stink
[05:02.77]I was just a puppet in a play
[05:07.33]And through the roar and smoke this string it finally broke
[05:11.80]And a cannon ball blew my eyes away
[05:19.57]As he turned away to go his mother was acting slow
[05:24.38]Seein' the metal brace that helped him stand
[05:28.38]But as he turned to leave he called his mother close
[05:32.85]And he dropped his medals down into her hand
