Luyện nghe bài hát Ode To Billie Joe

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

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

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

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

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

And nice young 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 Wridge
She and Joe was throwin' something off the Tallahatchie Bridge

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

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