Luyện nghe bài hát Ode To Billy Joe

It was the 3rd of June, another dusty Delta day.
I was out cotton and my brother was bailin' hay.
And at dinner time we stopped and back to the house to eat.
And mama hollered out the backdoor, "Y'all remember to wipe feet."
And then she said, "I got some news mornin' from Choctaw Ridge.
Today Billy Joe MacAllister's off the Tallahatchee Bridge."

Papa said to mama as he passed the blackeyed peas,
"Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of pass the biscuits please.
5 more acres in the lower 40 I got to plow."
And mama said it was a shame about Joe anyhow.
Seems like nothin' ever to no good up on Choctaw Ridge,
and now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Bridge.

And brother he recollected when he and Tom and Billy Joe
put a frog down my back at the Carroll picture show.
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church Sunday night?
"I'll have another piece of apple pie; you know it seem right.
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Ridge
and now you me Billy Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge."

And mama said to me, "Child what's to your appetite?
I been cookin' all morning and you touched a single bite.
That nice preacher brother Taylor dropped by today,
said he'd be pleased to have on Sunday; oh by the way,
he said he saw a that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge,
and she and Joe was throwin' something off the Tallahatchee Bridge."
