Luyện nghe bài hát Ode To Billie Joe

It was the third of June another dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was a hay
And at dinner time we stopped and out to the house to eat
And mama hollered of the back door, "Y'all remember to your feet"
Then she said, "I got news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge
Today Billie Joe jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed
"Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits,
There's five more acres in the lower forty that got to plow"
And Mama said, "It was shame Billy Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin' comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billy Joe Mac jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

Mama said to me, "Child, what's happened to appetite?
I've cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite
That young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today"
Said, be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way
He said, he saw a girl that a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billy Joe was throwing off the Tallahatchie Bridge

A year has and gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he last spring
Now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do of anything
And me, I spend a lot of pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
