Luyện nghe bài hát Ode to Billy Joe

It was the third of June, another sleepy, 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 your feet"
And then she said "I got some news this from Choctaw Ridge"
"Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Bridge"
And said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas
"Well, Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please"
"There's more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow"
And said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow
Seems nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billy Joe MacAllister's off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And Brother said he recollected he and Tom and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday
"I'll have another piece of apple pie, you it don't seem right"
"I saw him at the yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"
"And now you tell me Billie Joe's off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
And Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to appetite?"
"I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't a single bite"
"That nice preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today"
"Said he'd be pleased to have on Sunday, oh, by the way"
"He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Ridge"
"And she and Billy Joe was throwing off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

A year has come 'n' gone since we the news 'bout Billy Joe
And Brother Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring
And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
