Ode to Billie Joe - Bobbie Gentry (芭比·珍翠)[00:00:00]
Written by:Bobbie Gentry[00:00:02]
It was the third of june another sleepy dusty delta[00:00:08]
Day[00:00:12]
I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin'[00:00:16]
Hay[00:00:21]
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to[00:00:24]
The house to eat[00:00:27]
And mama hollered out the back door y'all remember to[00:00:32]
Wipe your feet[00:00:36]
And then she said I got some news this mornin'[00:00:40]
From choctaw ridge[00:00:43]
Today billy joe macallister jumped off the tallahatchie bridge[00:00:48]
And papa said to mama as he passed around the[00:00:57]
Blackeyed peas[00:01:00]
Well billy joe never had a lick of sense pass[00:01:04]
The biscuits please[00:01:08]
There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got[00:01:12]
To plow[00:01:16]
And mama said it was a shame about billy joe anyhow[00:01:20]
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on[00:01:28]
Choctaw ridge[00:01:31]
And now billy joe macallister's jumped off the tallahatchie bridge[00:01:36]
And brother said he recollected when he and Tom and[00:01:44]
Billie joe[00:01:47]
Put a frog down my back at the carroll County[00:01:52]
Picture show[00:01:55]
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last sunday[00:01:59]
Night[00:02:04]
I'll have another piece a apple pie you know it[00:02:07]
Don't seem right[00:02:11]
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on choctaw ridge[00:02:15]
And now ya tell me Billie joe's jumped off the[00:02:23]
Tallahatchie bridge[00:02:26]
And mama said to me child what's happened to your[00:02:31]
Appetite[00:02:34]
I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a[00:02:39]
Single bite[00:02:42]
That nice young preacher brother taylor dropped by today[00:02:47]
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on sunday oh[00:02:55]
By the way[00:02:58]
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot[00:03:03]
Like you up on choctaw ridge[00:03:05]
And she and Billy joe was throwing somethin' off the[00:03:10]
Tallahatchie bridge[00:03:13]
A year has come and gone since we heard the[00:03:19]
News 'bout billy joe[00:03:21]
And brother married becky thompson they bought a store in[00:03:27]
Tupelo[00:03:30]
There was a virus going 'round papa caught it and[00:03:34]
He died last spring[00:03:37]
And now mama doesn't seem to want to do much[00:03:42]
Of anything[00:03:45]
And me I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers[00:03:50]
Up on choctaw ridge[00:03:52]
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie[00:03:57]
Bridge[00:04:01]
