Luyện nghe bài hát Ode to Billy Joe

It was the third of June, sleepy, dusty Delta 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 hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet"
And then she said "I got news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge"
"Today Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the peas
"Well, Billy Joe never had a of sense, pass the biscuits, please"
"There's five more acres in the lower forty got to plow"
And Mama said it was shame about Joe, anyhow
Seems like ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Joe
Put a frog down my at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I to him after church 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 Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
And Mama said to me "Child, happened to your 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 to have 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 throwing somethin' off the Bridge"

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