Luyện nghe bài hát Ode to Billy Joe

It was the of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out cotton and my brother was balin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and back to the house to eat
And hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe your 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 around the blackeyed
"Well, Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please"
"There's five more acres in the lower I've got to plow"
And Mama it was shame about 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 recollected when he and Tom and Joe
Put a frog my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him church last Sunday night?
"I'll have another of apple pie, you know 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 to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?"
"I've cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite"
"That nice preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today"
"Said be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way"
"He said he saw a girl looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge"
"And she and Billy Joe was somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

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