[00:00.00]John Brown (Live at Town Hall, New York, NY - April 1963) - Bob Dylan
[00:08.96]Lyrics by:Bob Dylan
[00:17.93]Composed by:Bob Dylan
[00:26.89]When John Brown went off
[00:28.20]To war to fight on a foreign shore
[00:32.71]His mama sure was proud of him
[00:36.91]He stood straight and tall in his uniform and all
[00:42.38]His mama's face broke out all to a grin
[00:47.63]Oh son you look so fine
[00:49.66]I'm glad you're a son of mine
[00:54.08]You make me proud to know you hold a gun
[00:58.71]Do you what the captain says
[01:00.53]Lots of medals you will get
[01:03.77]And we'll put them on the wall when you come home
[01:10.01]When that old train pulled out
[01:11.99]John's ma began to shout
[01:15.94]Tellin' ev'rybody in the neighborhood
[01:19.63]That's my son that's about to go
[01:21.61]He's a stranger
[01:22.61]He is soldier now you know
[01:25.04]She made well sure her neighbors understood
[01:33.22]She got a letter once in a while
[01:35.32]And her face broke into a smile
[01:37.39]As she showed them to the people from next door
[01:41.86]And she bragged about her son with his uniform and gun
[01:47.10]And these things you called a good old-fashioned war
[01:51.83]Now good old-fashioned war
[02:01.83]Then the letters ceased to come
[02:03.76]For a long time they did not come
[02:07.44]They ceased to come for about ten months or more
[02:11.42]When a letter finally came saying
[02:13.55]Go down and meet the train
[02:16.78]Your son's a-coming home from the war
[02:23.08]She smiled and went right down
[02:24.99]She looked everywhere around
[02:28.20]But she did not see her soldier son in sight
[02:32.30]But as all the people passed
[02:34.64]She saw her son at last
[02:36.57]When she did she could hardly believe her eyes
[02:40.72]Oh his face was all shot up
[02:42.60]And his hand was all blown off
[02:44.75]As he wore a metal brace around his waist
[02:49.38]He whispered kind of slow
[02:51.14]In a voice she did not know
[02:53.04]While she couldn't even recognize his face
[02:57.97]Not recognize his face
[03:09.04]Tell me
[03:09.50]My darling son
[03:11.04]Pray tell me what they done
[03:14.25]How is it you come to be this way
[03:19.22]As he tried his best to talk
[03:21.27]But his mouth could hardly move
[03:23.25]And his mother had to turn her face away
[03:28.82]Don't you remember ma when I went off to war
[03:32.84]You thought it was the best thing I could do
[03:36.77]I was on the battleground
[03:38.88]You were home acting proud
[03:41.08]And got you wasn't standing in my shoes
[03:45.02]And I thought when I was there
[03:47.19]God what am I doing here
[03:50.43]I'm a-tryin' to kill somebody or die tryin'
[03:55.53]But the thing that scared me most was
[03:57.45]When my enemy came close
[04:00.41]And I saw that his face looked just like mine
[04:05.34]Oh Lord just like mine
[04:16.18]And I couldn't help but think
[04:17.96]Through the thunder rolling and stink
[04:20.07]That I was just a puppet in a play
[04:24.49]And through the roar and smoke
[04:26.62]This string is finally broke
[04:28.52]And a cannonball blew my eyes away
[04:36.60]As he turned away to walk
[04:38.82]His ma was still in shock
[04:41.38]Seein' the metal brace that helped him stand
[04:46.25]But as he turned to go
[04:48.41]He called his mother close
[04:51.32]And he dropped his medals down into her hand
[04:56.05]Lord Lord down into her hand
