《John Brown(Witmark Demo - 1963)》歌词

[00:00:27] John Brown went off to war called to battle on a foreign shore
[00:00:32] And his mother she sure was proud of him!
[00:00:38] When he stood so straight and tall in his uniform and all
[00:00:43] His mother’s face broke out in a glowing grin
[00:00:48] She said Son you look so fine I'm so glad you're a son of mine
[00:01:00] You make me proud to know you hold a gun
[00:01:04] Do what your captain says an’ lots of medals you will get
[00:01:09] Then we'll hang them on the wall when you come home
[00:01:15] As that evening train pulled out John's ma began to shout
[00:01:21] Telling everybody in the neighborhood:
[00:01:25] That's my son that's about to go he's a soldier now you know
[00:01:30] And she made well sure her neighbors understood
[00:01:50] She got a letter once in a while and her face broke into a smile
[00:01:56] Then she showed them to the people from next door
[00:02:03] And she bragged about her son with his uniform and gun
[00:02:07] And this thing they called a good old-fashioned war
[00:02:14] A good old-fashioned war
[00:02:17] After all his letters home his mail had ceased to come
[00:02:21] And she hadn’t heard a word for nine months or more
[00:02:27] Then one letter finally came Go down and meet the train
[00:02:32] Your son is coming home from the war
[00:02:50] Oh she smiled and went right down she looked everywhere around
[00:02:55] But she could not find her soldier son in sight
[00:03:01] But as all the people passed she saw her son at last
[00:03:05] And when she did she could hardly believe her eyes
[00:03:10] His young face was all shot up and one hand had been blown off
[00:03:14] And he wore a metal brace around his waist
[00:03:19] He whispered kind of slow in a voice she did not know
[00:03:23] And she could not even recognize his face
[00:03:32] She said Oh my darling son Lord tell me what they’ve done
[00:03:38] How is it that you ended up this way
[00:03:45] He tried his best to speak but his mouth could hardly move
[00:03:49] And his mother had to turn her face away
[00:04:00] Don't you remember Ma when I went off to war
[00:04:05] You thought it was the best thing I could do
[00:04:10] When I was on that battleground you were home an’ acting proud
[00:04:16] Be glad that you weren’t standing in my shoes
[00:04:23] And I thought when I was there ‘God what am I doing here
[00:04:27] Just tryin’ to kill somebody or DIE tryin'
[00:04:32] But the thing that scared me most when my enemy came up close
[00:04:37] I saw his frightened face looked just like mine
[00:04:42] Lord just like mine!
[00:04:58] Then I couldn't help but think through that thunder and the stink
[00:05:03] I was only one more puppet in their play
[00:05:09] And through the roar and smoke that string it finally broke
[00:05:12] And a blast of fire blew my eyes away
[00:05:20] When the young man tried to walk his mother was still in shock
[00:05:25] As she saw that metal brace that helped him stand
[00:05:29] But as they turned to go he held his mother close
[00:05:33] And he dropped his medals down into her hand
