	John Brown went off to war to fight on a foreign shore
	His mama sure was proud of him!
	He stood straight and tall in his uniform and all
	His mama’s face broke out all in a grin

	“Oh son, you look so fine, I’m glad you’re a son of mine
	You make me proud to know you hold a gun
	Do what the captain says, lots of medals you will get
	And we’ll put them on the wall when you come home”

	As that old train pulled out, John’s ma began to shout
	Tellin’ ev’ryone in the neighborhood:
	“That’s my son that’s about to go, he’s a soldier now, you know”
	She made well sure her neighbors understood

	She got a letter once in a while and her face broke into a smile
	As she showed them to the people from next door
	And she bragged about her son with his uniform and gun
	And these things you called a good old-fashioned war

	Oh! Good old-fashioned war!

	Then the letters ceased to come, for a long time they did not come
	They ceased to come for about ten months or more
	Then a letter finally came saying, “Go down and meet the train
	Your son’s a-coming home from the war”

	She smiled and went right down, she looked everywhere around
	But she could not see her soldier son in sight
	But as all the people passed, she saw her son at last
	When she did she could hardly believe her eyes

	Oh his face was all shot up and his hand was all blown off
	And he wore a metal brace around his waist
	He whispered kind of slow, in a voice she did not know
	While she couldn’t even recognize his face!

	Oh! Lord! Not even recognize his face

	“Oh tell me, my darling son, pray tell me what they done
	How is it you come to be this way?”
	He tried his best to talk but his mouth could hardly move
	And the 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 wasn’t there standing in my shoes”

	“Oh, and I thought when I was there, God, what am I doing here?
	I’m a-tryin’ to kill somebody or die tryin’
	But the thing that scared me most was when my enemy came close
	And I saw that his face looked just like mine”

	Oh! Lord! Just like mine!

	“And I couldn’t help but think, through the thunder rolling and stink
	That I was just a puppet in a play
	And through the roar and smoke, this string is finally broke
	And a cannonball blew my eyes away”

	As he turned away to walk, his Ma was still in shock
	At seein’ the metal brace that helped him stand
	But as he turned to go, he called his mother close
	And he dropped his medals down into her hand

[00:04.280]	约翰·布朗就要去参加海外的战斗，
[00:08.260]	他的妈妈当然替他感到骄傲。
[00:12.550]	他全副武装、挺直站立，高大威武，
[00:16.560]	他的妈妈脸上乐开了花，
[00:20.660]	哇，你看上去好极了，有你这个好儿子我很自豪，
[00:26.650]	你为你即将持枪战斗而骄傲。
[00:31.050]	照着上尉说的做，你也会获得很多勋章，
[00:34.710]	等你一回家咱们就把勋章挂到墙上。”
[00:40.110]	当那辆破旧火车缓缓开动，约翰妈朝所有人叫嚷，
[00:44.500]	她要告诉每一位邻居，
[00:48.460]	那是我儿子要去前线了，他现在是一名战士，你知道么。”
[00:52.450]	她当然相信邻居们全都知道。
[00:57.600]	有时她会收到信件，这时她就面露喜色，
[01:01.480]	她把信展示给大家看，
[01:05.730]	她吹嘘自己的儿子有枪有装。
[01:09.960]	这些便是你所谓的还不错的旧式战争。
[01:14.430]	呵，不错的旧式战争！
[01:24.500]	这时信不再寄来，她始终没等到来信。
[01:28.600]	十多个月以来，杳无音讯。
[01:32.930]	有天她终于收到消息：
[01:36.960]	到车站去接你解甲归田的儿子。
[01:46.150]	她笑起来跑出去，在车站四处张望，
[01:50.230]	但她看不到她的战士儿子。
[01:54.480]	直到人群散去她才见到真相，
[01:58.300]	她见到不敢直视的真相：
[02:03.550]	他脸面血肉模糊，手掌支离破碎。
[02:07.880]	他的腰上戴上金属支架。
[02:12.100]	他支吾吞吐出几句，但她全然听不清楚。
[02:15.800]	而她甚至仍认不出他的脸!
[02:20.780]	我的天！我认不出了我儿子的脸。”
[02:31.100]	啊，可怜的儿子，求你告诉我他们干了什么？”
[02:35.350]	何以至今日的悲惨境地？”
[02:39.510]	他想说句话但嘴巴无法张开，
[02:43.500]	他的妈妈不得不把哭脸转向一边。
[02:48.850]	妈还记得吗，我去打仗时，
[02:53.050]	你觉得那是最该做的事。“
[02:56.460]	我血战疆场，你在家里为之自豪。
[03:00.810]	你并没站在我的立场上。“
[03:05.580]	啊，我曾经在那里想，天哪，我竟在这里做些什么？”
[03:09.860]	我残忍地杀人，同时也会被残忍杀死。
[03:13.810]	最另我恐惧地是当敌人靠近，我分明看到
[03:18.030]	他们脸上的神情跟我如出一辙”
[03:22.200]	啊！上帝！那是跟我别无二致的人呐”
[03:34.030]	我忍不住地去怀疑，在那枪炮轰鸣、尸体腐臭的地方，
[03:38.220]	我就像是戏剧里的一个傀儡，
[03:42.360]	那些轰鸣着的（炮弹）和弥漫着的（硝烟）让我断了线，
[03:46.100]	炸弹带走了我的眼睛。“
[04:56.450]	当他转而要走，他妈仍陷在震惊之中，
[04:01.000]	她只看到支撑他站起的冰冷金属支架。
[04:05.200]	他转身要走之际，叫母亲凑近，
[04:08.630]	把勋章放到她的手中。
