Luyện nghe bài hát Ode to Billie Joe (The Voice Performance)

It was the third of June, sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton, and my was balin' hay
And at time we stopped and walked back 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, Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

And papa said to mama, as he passed around the peas
Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of pass the biscuits, please
There's five more acres in the lower I've got to plow
And mama said it was about Billy Joe, anyhow
Seems nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billy Joe MacAllister's off the Tallahatchie Bridge

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

And mama said to me, child, happened to your appetite?
I've been all morning, and you haven't touched a single bite
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, by today
he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way
He he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge

A year has come and gone we heard 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 died last
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
