Luyện nghe bài hát Ode to Billy Joe

It was the of June, another sleepy, dusty 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 wipe feet"
And then she said "I got some news this from Choctaw Ridge"
"Today Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
And Papa said to Mama as he passed the blackeyed peas
"Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, the biscuits, please"
"There's five acres 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 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 picture
And wasn't I talkin' to him after last Sunday night?
"I'll have another piece of apple pie, you know it 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 and you haven't touched a single bite"
"That nice young preacher, Taylor, dropped 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 like you up on Ridge"
"And she and Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

A year has come 'n' gone we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
And married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going 'round, Papa 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 muddy water off the Bridge
