John Brown went off to war called to battle on a foreign shore
And his mother she sure was proud of him
When he stood so straight and tall in his uniform and all
His mother's face broke out in a glowing grin
She said Son you look so fine I'm so glad you're a son of mine
You make me proud to know you hold a gun
Do what your captain says an lots of medals you will get
Then we'll hang them on the wall when you come home
As that evening train pulled out John's ma began to shout
Telling everybody in the neighborhood
That's my son that's about to go he's a soldier now you know
And she made well sure her neighbors understood
She got a letter once in a while and her face broke into a smile
Then she showed them to the people from next door
And she bragged about her son with his uniform and gun
And this thing they called a good old-fashioned war
Then the letters ceased to come
For a long time they did not come
Ceased to come for about ten months or more
Then when letter finally came saying
Go down and meet the train
Your son is coming back from the war
She smiled and she went right down she looked up and all around
She did not see her soldier son in sight
When all the people passed she saw her son at last
When she did she could not believe her eyes
His face was all shot up and his hand were blown away
And he wore a metal brace around his waist
He whispered kind of slow in a voice she didn't know
And she couldn't even recognize his face
Oh my darling son tell me what they've done
How is it that you come to be this way
He tried his best to talk but his mouth could hardly move
And his mother had to turn her face away
Don't you remember ma when I went off to war
You thought it was the best thing I could do
I was on the battleground you were home acting proud
You weren't there standing in my shoes
And I thought when I was there Lord what am I doing here
Tryin' to kill somebody or die tryin'
But the thing that scared me most when my enemy came close
I can see that his face looked just like mine
And I couldn't help but think through the thunder rolling and stink
I was just a puppet in a play
And through the roar and smoke this string it finally broke
And a cannon ball blew my eyes away
As he turned away to go his mother was acting slow
Seein' the metal brace that helped him stand
But as he turned to leave he called his mother close
And he dropped his medals down into her hand
