Luyện nghe bài hát Ode To Billy Joe

It was the third of
Another sleepy, dusty day
I was out cotton
And my brother was hay

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

And then she "I got some news
This from Choctaw Ridge"
"Today Billy Joe Mac
off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

And Papa said to Mama as he
Around the black eyed
"Well, Joe never had a lick of sense
the biscuits, please"

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

Seems like nothin' comes
To no good up on Ridge
And now Billy Joe Mac
Jumped off the Tallahatchie

And Brother said he
When he and Tom and Joe
Put a frog my back a
A the County picture show

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

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

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

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

"He said he saw a girl looked a lot
Like you up on Ridge"
"And she and Billy Joe was
off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

A has come 'n' gone
Since we heard the news Billy Joe
And Brother married Becky
Tthey a store in Tupelo

There was a going 'round
Papa caught it and he last Spring
And now Mama doesn't
To do much of anything

And me, I a lot of time
Pickin' flowers up on Ridge
And drop them into the water
Off the Bridge
