Luyện nghe bài hát Ode To Billy Joe

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And wasn't I to him
church last Sunday night?
"I'll have piece of apple pie
You know it seem 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, happened to your appetite?
I've been cookin' all
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 said he saw a that looked a lot
you up on Choctaw Ridge"
"And she and Billy Joe was
Somethin' off the Bridge"

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

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

And me, I a lot of time
flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy
Off the Tallahatchie
