《Ode To Billie Joe》歌词

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

[00:00:03] Sleepy dusty Delta day

[00:00:09] I was out choppin' cotton and

[00:00:11] My brother was bailin' hay

[00:00:17] And at dinner time we stopped

[00:00:19] And walked back to the house to eat

[00:00:25] And mama hollered at the backdoor

[00:00:28] Y'all remember to wipe your feet

[00:00:33] And then she said I got the news

[00:00:36] This mornin' from Choctaw Wridge

[00:00:42] Today Billie Joe Macallister's

[00:00:44] Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:00:51] Papa said to mama as he passed

[00:00:54] Around the black eyed peas

[00:00:59] Well Billie Joe never had a lick

[00:01:01] Of sense pass the biscuits please

[00:01:07] There's five more acres in the

[00:01:10] Lower forty I got to plow

[00:01:15] And mama said it was a shame

[00:01:18] About Billie Joe anyhow

[00:01:24] Seems like nothing ever comes

[00:01:26] To no good upon Choctaw Wridge

[00:01:32] And now Billie Joe Macallister's

[00:01:35] Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:01:42] Brother said he recollected when

[00:01:44] He and Tom and Billie Joe

[00:01:49] Put a frog down my back at the

[00:01:52] Carroll County picture show

[00:01:58] And wasn't I talkin' to him

[00:02:00] After church last Sunday night

[00:02:06] I'll have another piece of

[00:02:08] Apple pie you know it don't seem right

[00:02:15] I saw him at the sawmill

[00:02:17] Yesterday upon Choctaw Wridge

[00:02:23] And now you tell me Billie

[00:02:25] Joe has jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:02:33] Mama said to me child what's

[00:02:35] Happened to your apetite

[00:02:40] Well I've been cookin' all mornin'

[00:02:43] And you haven't touched a single bite

[00:02:49] That nice young preacher brother

[00:02:52] Tailor dropped by today

[00:02:57] Said he'd be pleased to have

[00:02:59] Dinner on Sunday oh by the way

[00:03:05] He said he saw a girl that looked

[00:03:08] A lot like you upon Choctaw Wridge

[00:03:14] She and Billie Joe was throwin'

[00:03:16] Somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:03:23] One year has come and gone since

[00:03:25] We heard the news about Billie Joe

[00:03:31] Brother married Becky Thompson and

[00:03:34] They bought a store in Tupelo

[00:03:39] There was virus goin' round papa

[00:03:42] Caught it and he died last spring

[00:03:47] And now mama doesn't seem

[00:03:49] To want to do much of anything

[00:03:56] And me I spent a lot of time pickin'

[00:03:59] Flowers upon Chotaw Wridge

[00:04:04] And dropped 'em into the muddy water

[00:04:07] Off the Tallahatchie Bridge
