Luyện nghe bài hát Ode To Billie Joe

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

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

said to me, "Child, what's happened to your appetite?
I've been cookin' all morning and you touched a single bite
That nice 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 looked a lot you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billy Joe was throwing off the Tallahatchie Bridge

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