John Brown (约翰布朗) - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)[00:00:00]

John brown went off to war to fight on a foreign shore[00:00:01]

His mama sure was proud of him[00:00:06]

He stood so straight and tall in his uniform and all[00:00:11]

His mama's face broke out into a grin[00:00:16]

Oh son you look so fine I'm glad you're a son of mine[00:00:21]

Make me proud to know you own a gun[00:00:27]

Do what the captain says lot of medals you will get[00:00:31]

We'll put them on the wall when you get home[00:00:36]

That old train pulled out john's ma began to shout[00:00:40]

Telling everyone in the neighborhood[00:00:46]

That's my son that's about to go he's a soldier now you know[00:00:50]

She made well sure her neighbors understood[00:00:55]

She got a letter once in a while her face broke into a smile[00:01:01]

She showed them to the people from next door[00:01:06]

They bragged about her son with his uniform and gun[00:01:11]

And these things you called a good old fashioned war[00:01:15]

Then the letters ceased to come for a long time they did not come[00:01:22]

Ceased to come for about ten months or more[00:01:27]

Then when letter finally came saying go down and meet the train[00:01:31]

Your son is coming back from the waring[00:01:36]

She smiled and she went right down she looked up and all around[00:01:51]

She did not see her soldier son in sight[00:01:55]

When all the people passed she saw her son at last[00:02:00]

When she did she could not believe her eyes[00:02:04]

Oh his face was all shot up and his hand were blown away[00:02:09]

And he wore a metal brace around his waist[00:02:13]

He whispered kind of slow in a voice she didn't know[00:02:18]

And she couldn't even recognize his face[00:02:22]

Oh tell me my darling son tell me what they've done[00:02:38]

How is it that you come to be this way[00:02:43]

He tried his best to talk but his mouth could hardly move[00:02:47]

And his mother had to turn her face away[00:02:52]

Don't you remember ma when I went off to war[00:02:56]

You thought it was the best thing I could do[00:03:01]

I was on the battleground you were home acting proud[00:03:05]

You weren't there standing in my shoes[00:03:10]

And I thought when I was there lord what am I doing here[00:03:14]

Trying to kill somebody or die trying[00:03:19]

But the thing that scared me most when my enemy came close[00:03:23]

And I saw that his face looked just like mine[00:03:28]

Oh Lord Just like mine[00:03:33]

And I couldn't help but think through the thunder rolling and stink[00:03:42]

I was just a puppet in a play[00:03:47]

And through the roar and smoke this string it finally broke[00:03:51]

And a cannon ball blew my eyes away[00:03:56]

As he turned away to go his mother was acting slow[00:04:03]

Seeing the metal brace that helped him stand[00:04:07]

But as he turned to leave he called his mother close[00:04:12]

And he dropped his medals down into her hand[00:04:16]

Oh Lord down to hand[00:04:21]
