Ode to Billie Joe - Nicola Conte/Bridgette Amofah[00:00:00]

Composer：Gentry[00:00:05]

It was the third of June[00:00:11]

Another sleepy[00:00:14]

Dusty Delta day[00:00:15]

I was out choppin' cotton[00:00:22]

And my brother was balin' hay[00:00:25]

And at dinner time we stopped[00:00:33]

And walked back to the house to eat[00:00:36]

And mama hollered out the back door[00:00:44]

Y'all remember to wipe your feet[00:00:47]

And then she said[00:00:55]

I got some news this mornin'[00:00:57]

From Choctaw Ridge[00:01:00]

Today[00:01:07]

Billy Joe MacAllister[00:01:07]

Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:01:10]

And papa said to mama[00:01:19]

As he passed around the blackeyed peas[00:01:21]

Well[00:01:28]

Billy Joe never had a lick of sense[00:01:30]

Pass the biscuits please[00:01:33]

There's five more acres in the lower forty[00:01:40]

I've got to plow[00:01:45]

And mama said it was shame[00:01:51]

About Billy Joe[00:01:54]

Anyhow[00:01:57]

Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good[00:02:02]

Up on Choctaw Ridge[00:02:07]

And now Billy Joe MacAllister's[00:02:13]

Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:02:17]

And brother said he recollected[00:02:25]

When he and Tom[00:02:28]

And Billie Joe[00:02:30]

Put a frog down my back[00:02:35]

At the Carroll County picture show[00:02:38]

And wasn't I talkin' to him after church[00:02:47]

Last Sunday night[00:02:51]

I'll have another piece of apple pie[00:02:57]

You know it just don't seem right[00:03:01]

I saw him at the sawmill yesterday[00:03:09]

On Choctaw Ridge[00:03:13]

And now ya tell me Billie Joe's[00:03:19]

Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:03:23]

And mama said to me child[00:03:31]

What's happened to your appetite[00:03:34]

I've been cookin' all morning[00:03:41]

And you haven't touched a single bite[00:03:45]

That nice young preacher[00:03:53]

Brother Taylor[00:03:54]

Dropped by today[00:03:57]

Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday oh[00:04:03]

By the way[00:04:09]

He said he saw a girl that looked just like you[00:04:14]

Up on Choctaw Ridge[00:04:18]

And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin'[00:04:25]

Off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:04:28]

A year has come and gone[00:04:37]

Since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe[00:04:39]

And brother married Becky Thompson[00:04:47]

They bought a store in Tupelo[00:04:50]

There was a virus going 'round[00:04:58]

Papa caught it and he died last spring[00:05:00]

And now mama doesn't seem[00:05:08]

To want to do much of[00:05:11]

Anything[00:05:14]

And me[00:05:20]

I spend a lot of time pickin'[00:05:21]

Flowers up on Choctaw Ridge[00:05:23]

And drop them into the muddy water[00:05:31]

Off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:05:35]

Tallahatchie Bridge[00:05:42]

Don't go and up jumped off[00:05:45]

Oooh[00:05:51]

Tallahatchie Bridge[00:05:53]

Don't go[00:05:56]

Don't go[00:05:56]

Don't go[00:05:57]

Jumped off jumped off[00:05:59]

Tallahatchie Bridge[00:06:04]
