Ode To Billie Joe - Ike/Tina Turner (蒂娜·特纳)[00:00:00]

It was the third of June[00:00:08]

Another sleepy dusty Delta day[00:00:10]

I was out chopping cotton[00:00:16]

And my brother was baling hay[00:00:18]

And at dinner time we stopped[00:00:23]

And walked back to the house to eat[00:00:26]

And Mama hollered out the back door y'all[00:00:31]

Remember to wipe your feet[00:00:33]

And then she said[00:00:39]

I got some news this morning from Choctaw Ridge[00:00:40]

Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:00:46]

N Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas[00:00:54]

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

Pass the biscuits please[00:01:05]

There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow[00:01:10]

Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe anyhow[00:01:17]

Seems like nothing ever comes to no good[00:01:25]

Up on Choctaw Ridge and now[00:01:28]

Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:01:34]

Brother said he recollected[00:01:41]

When he and Tom and Billie Joe[00:01:43]

Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show[00:01:48]

And wasn't I talking to me after church last Sunday night[00:01:56]

I'll have another piece-a apple pie[00:02:04]

You know it don't seem right[00:02:07]

I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge[00:02:12]

And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped[00:02:19]

Off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:02:22]

N Mama said to me child[00:02:27]

What's happened to your appetite[00:02:29]

I've been cooking all morning[00:02:34]

And you haven't touched a single bite[00:02:36]

That nice young preacher Brother Taylor[00:02:43]

Dropped by today said[00:02:45]

He'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday[00:02:50]

Oh by the way[00:02:53]

And he said he saw a girl that looked[00:02:58]

A lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge[00:03:00]

And she and Billy Joe was throwing something[00:03:05]

Off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:03:08]

A year has come gone now[00:03:13]

Since we heard the news about Billy Joe[00:03:15]

Non Brother married Becky Thompson[00:03:21]

They bought a store in Tupelo[00:03:23]

There was a virus going round[00:03:29]

Papa caught it and he died last Spring[00:03:31]

And Mama doesn't seem to wanna[00:03:36]

Do much of anything[00:03:39]

And me I spend a lot of time[00:03:44]

Picking flowers up on Choctaw Ridge[00:03:46]

And drop them into the muddy water[00:03:51]

Off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:03:54]
