Luyện nghe bài hát Ode To Billy Joe

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

And at time 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 some
This mornin' Choctaw Ridge"
"Today Billy Joe Mac
off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

And Papa said to Mama as he
Around the black eyed
"Well, Billy Joe had a lick of sense
the biscuits, please"

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

Seems like nothin' ever
To no good up on Choctaw
And now Joe Mac Allister's
Jumped off the Bridge

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

And I talkin' to him
After church last Sunday
"I'll have another of apple pie
You know it don't right"

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

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

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

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

A year has 'n' gone
Since we the news 'bout Billy Joe
And Brother married Becky
bought a store in Tupelo

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

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