Luyện nghe bài hát Ode To Billie Joe

It was the third of June, another sleepy Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton and my was bailin' hay
And at time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And hollered at the backdoor, "You all remember to wipe your feet"

And she said, "I got some news this morning from Choctaw Wridge
Today Billie Joe jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
Papa said to mama as he passed around the black eyed
"Billie Joe never had a lick of sense, the biscuits please"

"There's five more acres in the lower I got to plow"
And mama said, "It was a shame about Joe anyhow
Seems nothing ever comes to no good upon Choctaw Wridge
Now Billie Joe jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

Brother he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Caroll County show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday
I'll have another of apple pie, you know it just don't seem right

I saw him at sawmill yesterday on Choctaw
Now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Bridge
Mama said to me, "Child happened to your appetite?"
I've been cooking all and you haven't touched a single bite

And nice young preacher brother dropped by today
Said be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way
Said he saw a that looked a lot like you upon Choctaw Wridge
She and Billie Joe was throwin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge

come and gone since we heard the news about Billie Joe
Brother married Becky Thompson and bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus goin' 'round, papa caught it and he died last
Now mama doesn't seem to to do much of anything

And me I spent a lot of pickin' flowers upon Choctaw Wridge
And 'em into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
