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, to wipe your feet
And then she said, I got some news this mornin' from Ridge
Today, Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie

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

And brother he recollected 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 seem right
I saw him at the sawmill on Choctaw Ridge
And now ya tell me Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

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

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