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

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

And said to mama, as he passed around the blackeyed peas
Well, Billy Joe had a lick of sense; pass the biscuits, please
There's five more in the lower forty I've got to plow
And mama said it was shame Billy Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no 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 at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him church last Sunday night?
I'll have another apple pie; you know, it don't seem right
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Ridge
And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the 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 preacher, Brother 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 Billy Joe was somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge

A year has come and gone since we heard the news Billy Joe
And brother married Becky they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going 'round; papa caught it, and he died last
And now mama seem to want to do much of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' up on Choctaw Ridge
And them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
