《Ode to Billie Joe》歌词

[00:00:00] Ode to Billie Joe - Alan Copeland Singers

[00:00:08] It was the third of June another sleepy dusty Delta day

[00:00:17] I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay

[00:00:25] And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat

[00:00:33] And Mama hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet

[00:00:42] And then she said "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge

[00:00:50] "Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:00:59] Papa And said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas

[00:01:07] "Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense pass the biscuits please

[00:01:16] "There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow

[00:01:24] And Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe anyhow

[00:01:33] Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:01:41] And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:01:50] And Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe

[00:01:58] Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show

[00:02:06] And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night

[00:02:15] "I'll have another piece of apple pie you know it don't seem right

[00:02:23] "I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge

[00:02:31] "And now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:02:40] A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe

[00:02:49] And Brother married Becky Thompson they bought a store in Tupelo

[00:02:57] There was a virus going 'round Papa caught it and he died last Spring

[00:03:05] And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything

[00:03:14] And me I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:03:21] And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
