Luyện nghe bài hát Ode to Billy Joe

It was the third of June, sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' and my brother was balin' hay
And at dinner we stopped and walked back 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 this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge"
"Today Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
And Papa said to as he passed around the blackeyed peas
"Well, Billy Joe had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please"
"There's five more acres in the forty I've got to plow"
And Mama it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow
like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billy Joe jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And Brother said he when he and Tom and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County show
And I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?
"I'll another piece of apple pie, you know it don't seem right"
"I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Ridge"
"And now you 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 a single bite"
"That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, 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 off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the 'bout Billy Joe
And Brother married Becky Thompson, 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 pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Bridge
