D/F A/E Oh! Lord! from
D5 D/F A/E D5 my home! [Verse 1]
D5 When John Brown went off to war to
C9 G/B D5 fight on a foreign shore.
C9 G/B D5 His mother sure was proud of him!
D5 As he stood straight and tall in
C9 G/B D5 his uniform and all.
C9 G/B His mothers face broke all out to
D5 a grin.
D5 C9 "Oh son, you look so fine, I'm
G/B D5 glad you're a son of mine,
C9 G/B You make me proud to know you hold
D5 a gun.
D5 Do what the captain says, lots of
C9 G/B D5 medals you will get,
C9 G/B And we'll put them on the wall
D5 when you come home. "

D5 When that old train pulled out,
C9 G/B D5 John's ma began to shout,
C9 G/B Tellin' ev'rybody in the whole
D5 neighborhood:
D5 "That's my son that's about to go,
C9 G/B D5 he's a soldier now, you know."
C9 G/B She made well sure her neighbors
D5 understood.
D/F A/E Oh! Lord!
D5 D/F A/E D5 Understood! [Verse 2]
D5 She got a letter once in a while
C9 G/B D5 and her face broke into a smile
C9 G/B As she showed them to the people
D5 from next door.
D5 And she bragged about her son with
C9 G/B D5 his uniform and gun,
C9 G/B And these things you called a good
D5 old-fashioned war.
D5 Then the letters ceased to come,
C9 G/B D5 for a long time they'd never come.
C9 G/B They ceased to come for about nine
D5 months or more.
D5 Then a letter finally came saying,
C9 G/B D5 "Go down and meet the train.
C9 G/B Your son's a-coming home from the
D5 war."
D/F A/E Oh! Lord! From
D5 D/F A/E D5 the war. [Verse 3]
D5 Well she smiled and went right
C9 G/B D5 down, she looked up and all around
C9 G/B But she did not see her soldier
D5 son in sight
D5 But as all the people passed, she
C9 G/B D5 saw her son at last,
C9 When she did she could hardly
G/B D5 believe her eyes.
D5 His face was all shot up and his
C9 G/B D5 hands were both blown off
C9 G/B And he wore a metal brace around
D5 his waist.
D5 He whispered kind of slow, in a
C9 G/B D5 voice she did not know,
C9 G/B While she couldn't even recognize
D5 his face!
D5 C9 "Oh my darling son, tell me what
G/B D5 to you they done.
C9 G/B How is it that you come to be this
D5 way?"
D5 His mouth could hardly move as he
C9 G/B D5 tried his best to talk
C9 G/B And she did not even recognize his
D5 D/F A/E D5 voice. [Verse 4]
D5 "Don't you remember, Ma, when I
C9 G/B D5 went off to war
C9 G/B You thought it was the best thing
D5 I could do?
D5 I was on the battleground, you
C9 G/B D5 were home, feeling proud.
C9 G/B Thank God you wasn't standing in
D5 my shoes."
D5 "Oh, I thought when I was there,
C9 G/B D5 God, what am I doing here?
C9 G/B I'm a-tryin' to kill my enemy or
D5 die tryin'.
D5 But as the enemy came close, the
C9 G/B D5 thing that hurt me most
C9 G/B As I saw that his face looked just
D5 like mine."
D/F A/E Oh! Lord! Just
D5 D/F A/E D5 like mine!
D/F A/E D5 [Verse 5]
D5 "And I couldn't help but think,
C9 G/B D5 through the thunder sound and stink,
C9 G/B D5 That I was just a puppet in a play.
D5 And through the roar and smoke,
C9 G/B D5 this string is finally broke,
C9 G/B And a cannon ball blew my eyes
D5 D/F A/E D5 away." [Verse 6]
D5 C9 As he turned away to walk, his Ma
G/B D5 was still in shock
C9 G/B At seein' the metal brace that
D5 helped him stand.
D5 C9 But as he turned to go, he called
G/B D5 his mother close
C9 G/B And he dropped his medals down
D5 into her hand.
D/F A/E Oh! Lord! To
D5 D/F A/E D5 her hand!
D/F A/E D5
