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

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

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

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

And mama said to me, child, what's happened to your
I've been cookin' all morning, and you haven't touched a bite
That young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to 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 throwing somethin' off the Bridge

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