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

It was the of June, another 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 mama hollered out the back door, y'all, remember to wipe feet
And then she said, I got news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge
Today, Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

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

And said he recollected when 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 last Sunday
I'll have another apple pie; you know, it don't seem right
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw
And now ya me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

And said to me, child, what's happened to your appetite?
I've been all morning, and you haven't touched a single bite
That nice young preacher, Taylor, dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to 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 since we heard the news Billy Joe
And brother married Becky Thompson; they bought a store in
There was a virus going papa caught it, and he died last spring
And now mama doesn't 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 muddy water off the Bridge
