Ode To Billie Joe - Diana Ross[00:00:00]
It was the third of june[00:00:09]
Another sleepy dusty delta day[00:00:12]
I was out choppin' cotton[00:00:19]
And my brother was balin' hay[00:00:21]
And at dinner time we stopped[00:00:29]
And we walked back to the house to eat[00:00:31]
And mama hollered at the back door[00:00:38]
Y'all remember to wipe your feet'[00:00:40]
And then she said she got some news[00:00:47]
This mornin' from choctaw ridge[00:00:49]
Today billie joe macallister[00:00:56]
Jumped off the tallahatchie bridge[00:00:59]
Papa said to mama as he passed[00:01:06]
Around the black eyed peas[00:01:09]
Well billie joe never had a lick of sense[00:01:15]
Pass the biscuits please'[00:01:18]
There's five more acres[00:01:24]
In the lower forty I've got to plow'[00:01:25]
Mama said it was shame[00:01:33]
About billie joe anyhow[00:01:35]
Seems like nothin' ever comes[00:01:42]
To no good up on choctaw ridge[00:01:44]
And now billie joe macallister[00:01:51]
Jumped off the tallahatchie bridge[00:01:54]
And brother said he recollected[00:02:01]
When he and tom and billie joe[00:02:03]
Put a frog down my back[00:02:10]
At the carroll County picture show[00:02:12]
And wasn't I talkin' to him[00:02:20]
After church last sunday night[00:02:22]
I'll have another piece of apple pie[00:02:28]
You know it just don't seem right'[00:02:32]
I saw him at the sawmill[00:02:38]
Yesterday on choctaw ridge'[00:02:40]
And now you tell me billie joe's[00:02:47]
Jumped off the tallahatchie bridge'[00:02:49]
Mama said to me[00:02:57]
Child what's happened to your appetite[00:02:58]
I've been cookin' all morning[00:03:05]
And you haven't touched a single bite[00:03:07]
That nice young preacher[00:03:15]
Brother taylor dropped by today[00:03:16]
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on sunday[00:03:24]
Oh by the way[00:03:28]
He said he saw a girl[00:03:33]
That looked a lot like you up on choctaw ridge[00:03:35]
And she and billie joe[00:03:42]
Was throwing somethin' off the tallahatchie bridge[00:03:44]
A year has come 'n gone[00:03:52]
Since we heard the news 'bout billie joe[00:03:54]
Brother married becky thompson[00:04:01]
They bought a store in tupelo[00:04:03]
There was a virus going 'round[00:04:10]
Papa caught it and he died last spring[00:04:12]
And now mama doesn't seem to[00:04:19]
Wanna do much of anything[00:04:22]
And me I spend a lot of time[00:04:29]
Pickin' flowers up on choctaw ridge[00:04:31]
And drop them into the muddy water[00:04:38]
Off the tallahatchie bridge[00:04:41]
