Luyện nghe bài hát Ode To Billie Joe

It was the of June, another sleepy dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked 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 Macallister jumped off the 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 forty I got to plow"
And mama said, "It was a shame Billie Joe anyhow
Seems like ever comes to no good upon Choctaw Wridge
Now Billie Joe Macallister jumped off the Bridge"

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

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

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

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

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