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 brother was hay
And at time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And mama hollered out the door, y'all, remember to wipe your feet
And then she said, I got some this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge
Today, Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Bridge

And papa to mama, as he passed around the blackeyed peas
Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense; the biscuits, please
There's more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow
And mama said it was about Billy Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin' 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 County show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday
I'll have piece-a apple pie; you know, it don't seem right
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw
And now ya tell me Billie Joe's 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, Brother Taylor, by today
Said he'd be pleased to dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billy Joe was throwing off the Tallahatchie Bridge

A year has and gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
And brother married Becky Thompson; they bought a in Tupelo
There was a virus 'round; papa caught 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 pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy off the Tallahatchie Bridge
