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

It was the third of June, another sleepy, Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton, and my was balin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked to the house to eat
And mama hollered out the back door, y'all, remember to wipe your
And then she said, I got some news mornin' from Choctaw Ridge
Today, Billy Joe jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

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

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

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

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