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 dinner time we stopped and walked back to the to eat
And Mama hollered out the back door "y'all to wipe your feet"
And then she said "I got some news this mornin' from Ridge"
"Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Bridge"
And Papa said to Mama as he passed the blackeyed peas
"Well, Joe never 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
Seems like nothin' comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And said he recollected when 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 night?
"I'll have another piece of pie, you know it don't seem right"
"I saw him at the yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"
"And now you tell me Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
And said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?"
"I've been cookin' all and you haven't touched a single bite"
"That young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today"
"Said be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way"
"He said he saw a that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge"
"And she and Billy Joe was somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

A has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
And Brother married Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going 'round, caught it and he died last Spring
And now Mama seem to wanna do much 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
