Luyện nghe bài hát Ode To Billie Joe

It was the third of another sleepy dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' and my brother was bailin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked to the house to eat
And mama hollered at the back y'all remember to wipe your feet
And she said I got the news this mornin' from Choctaw Wridge

Today Billie Joe McAllister's off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Papa said to Mama as he passed around the eyed peas
"Well Billie Joe had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits please"
There's more acres in the lower forty I got to plow
And said it was a shame about Billie Joe anyhow

Seems like nothing ever comes to no upon Choctaw Wridge
And now Billie Joe McAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie
Brother said he recollected he and Tom and Billie Joe
Put a down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church Sunday night

I'll have another piece of apple pie, you know it seem right
I saw him at the yesterday upon Choctaw Wridge
And now you tell me Joe has jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Mama said to me child what's happened to your
Well been cookin' all mornin' and you haven't touched a single bite

That young preacher brother Tailor dropped by today
Said be pleased to have dinner on Sunday oh by the way
He said he saw a girl looked a lot like you upon Choctaw Wridge
She and Billie Joe was throwin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge
One year has come and since we heard the news about Billie Joe

Brother married Becky and they bought a store in Tupelo
There was virus goin' round papa it and he died last spring
And now mama doesn't seem to want to do of anything
And me I spent a lot of pickin' flowers upon Choctaw Wridge
And dropped 'em into the water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
