Luyện nghe bài hát Ode To Billy Joe

It was the of June
sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin'
And my was balin' hay

And at dinner we stopped
And walked back to the to eat
And Mama hollered out the door
"Y'all to wipe your feet"

And then she said "I got news
This mornin' from Ridge"
"Today Joe Mac Allister
Jumped off the Bridge"

And Papa to Mama as he passed
Around the black peas
"Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of
the biscuits, please"

"There's five acres
In the lower I've got to plow"
And Mama said, it was
Billy Joe, anyhow"

Seems nothin' ever comes
To no good up on Ridge
And now Joe Mac Allister's
off the Tallahatchie Bridge

And Brother he recollected
When he and Tom and Joe
Put a down my back a
A the Carroll County show

And wasn't I to him
After church Sunday night?
"I'll have another of apple pie
You it don't seem right"

"I saw him at the yesterday
On Ridge"
"And now you tell me Billie
Jumped off the Bridge"

And said to me
"Child, what's happened to appetite?
I've cookin' all morning
And you haven't touched a bite"

"That young preacher
Taylor, dropped by today"
"Said he'd be pleased to have
On Sunday, oh, by the way"

"He he saw a girl that looked a lot
you up on Choctaw Ridge"
"And she and Joe was throwing
Somethin' off the Bridge"

A has come 'n' gone
Since we heard the 'bout Billy Joe
And Brother married Thompson
bought a store in Tupelo

There was a virus 'round
Papa caught it and he died Spring
And now Mama doesn't
To wanna do much of

And me, I spend a lot of
Pickin' up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop into the muddy water
Off the Tallahatchie
