《John Brown》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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