Ode to Billie Joe - Bobby Solo/Silvia[00:00:00]

Written by：Bobbie Gentry[00:00:01]

It was the third of June another sleepy dusty delta day[00:00:10]

I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay[00:00:20]

And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat[00:00:29]

And mama hollered out the back door y'all remember to wipe your feet[00:00:39]

And then she said I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw ridge[00:00:48]

Today Billy Joe Macalister jumped off the Tallahatchie bridge[00:00:58]

And papa said to mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas[00:01:08]

Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense pass the biscuits please[00:01:17]

There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow[00:01:27]

And mama said it was shame about Billy Joe anyhow[00:01:37]

Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on choctaw ridge[00:01:46]

And now Billy Joe Macalister's jumped off the Tallahatchie bridge[00:01:56]

And brother said he recollected when he and tom and Billie Joe[00:02:06]

Put a frog down my back at the Carroll county picture show[00:02:16]

And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night[00:02:25]

I'll have another piece a apple pie you know it don't seem right[00:02:35]

I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw ridge[00:03:24]

And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:03:34]

And mama said to me child what's happened to your appetite[00:03:44]

I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite[00:03:53]

That nice young preacher brother Taylor dropped by today[00:04:03]

Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday oh by the way[00:04:13]

He said he saw a girl that looked a lot[00:04:22]

Like you up on Choctaw ridge[00:04:25]

And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:04:32]
