Luyện nghe bài hát Ode to Billie Joe

It was the third of June, 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 out the back door, "y'all, remember to wipe your feet!"
And then she said, "I got some news this mornin' from Ridge
Today, Billy Joe MacAllister off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

And papa said to mama, as he passed the blackeyed peas
"Well, Billy Joe had a lick of sense; pass the biscuits, please
There's five more acres in the lower I've got to plow"
And mama said it was shame about Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Ridge
And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie

And brother said he recollected he, and Tom, and Billie Joe
Put a frog my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church Sunday night?
"I'll have another piece-a apple pie; you know, it don't right
I saw him at the yesterday on Choctaw Ridge
And now ya tell me Billie Joe's off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

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

A year has come and gone since we the news 'bout Billy Joe
And brother Becky Thompson; they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going 'round; papa caught it, and he last spring
And now doesn't seem to want to do much of anything
And me - I a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
