Luyện nghe bài hát Ode to Billie Joe

It was the of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton, and my brother was hay
And at dinner time we stopped and back to the house to eat
And mama hollered out the back door, "y'all, remember to wipe feet!"
And then she said, "I got some news mornin' from Choctaw Ridge
Today, Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Bridge"

And papa said to mama, as he around the blackeyed peas
"Well, Billy Joe never had a of sense; pass the biscuits, please
There's five more acres in the forty I've got to plow"
And mama said it was shame Billy Joe, anyhow
Seems like ever comes 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 Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him church last Sunday night?
"I'll have another piece-a apple pie; you know, it don't seem
I saw him at the yesterday on Choctaw Ridge
And now ya me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

And mama said to me, "Child, what's happened to your
I've been cookin' all morning, and you touched a single bite
That young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today
Said be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Ridge
And she and Billy Joe was throwing off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

A year has come and gone we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
And brother Becky Thompson; they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus 'round; papa caught it, and he died last spring
And now mama doesn't seem to want to do much of
And me - I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw
And drop them into the water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
