《Ode To Billie Joe》歌词

[00:00:00] Ode To Billie Joe - Diana Ross & The Supremes

[00:00:09] It was the third of June

[00:00:11] Another sleepy dusty Delta day

[00:00:18] I was out choppin' cotton

[00:00:20] And my brother was balin' hay

[00:00:28] And at dinner time we stopped

[00:00:30] And we walked back to the house to eat

[00:00:37] And mama hollered at the back door

[00:00:39] "y'all remember to wipe your feet"

[00:00:46] And then she said she got some news

[00:00:48] This mornin' from Choctaw Ridge

[00:00:55] Today Billie Joe MacAllister

[00:00:58] Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:01:05] Papa said to mama as he passed

[00:01:08] Around the blackeyed peas

[00:01:14] "Well Billie Joe never had a lick of sense

[00:01:17] Pass the biscuits please"

[00:01:23] "There's five more acres in the lower forty

[00:01:27] I've got to plow"

[00:01:32] Mama said it was shame

[00:01:34] About Billie Joe anyhow

[00:01:41] Seems like nothin' ever comes

[00:01:43] To no good up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:01:50] And now Billie Joe MacAllister

[00:01:53] Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:02:00] Brother said he recollected

[00:02:02] When he and Tom and Billie Joe

[00:02:09] Put a frog down my back at

[00:02:12] The Carroll County picture show

[00:02:19] And wasn't I talkin' to him after

[00:02:21] Church last Sunday night

[00:02:28] "I'll have another piece of apple pie

[00:02:31] You know it just don't seem right"

[00:02:37] "I saw him at the sawmill

[00:02:39] Yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"

[00:02:46] "And now you tell me Billie Joe's

[00:02:48] Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

[00:02:56] Mama said to me "Child

[00:02:58] What's happened to your appetite "

[00:03:05] "I've been cookin' all morning

[00:03:07] And you haven't touched a single bite"

[00:03:14] "That nice young preacher

[00:03:16] Brother Taylor dropped by today"

[00:03:23] "Said he'd be pleased to have dinner

[00:03:25] On Sunday oh by the way"

[00:03:33] "He said he saw a girl that looked a lot

[00:03:35] Like you up on Choctaw Ridge"

[00:03:42] "And she and Billie Joe

[00:03:43] Was throwing somethin' off

[00:03:45] The Tallahatchie Bridge"

[00:03:51] A year has come 'n' gone since

[00:03:53] We heard the news 'bout Billie Joe

[00:04:01] Brother married Becky Thompson

[00:04:02] They bought a store in Tupelo

[00:04:09] There was a virus going 'round

[00:04:11] Papa caught it and he died last Spring

[00:04:19] And now mama doesn't seem

[00:04:21] To want to do much of anything

[00:04:28] And me I spend a lot of

[00:04:30] Time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:04:38] And drop them into the muddy

[00:04:39] Water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
