《Ode to Billie Joe》歌词

[00:00:00] Ode to Billie Joe - Hit Co. Masters

[00:00:12] It was the third of June

[00:00:14] Another sleepy dusty Delta day

[00:00:21] I was out choppin' cotton

[00:00:23] And my brother was balin' hay

[00:00:29] And at dinner time we stopped and

[00:00:31] Walked back to the house to eat

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

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

[00:00:45] And then she said

[00:00:46] I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge

[00:00:53] Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off

[00:00:56] The Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:01:02] And papa said to mama

[00:01:03] As he passed around the blackeyed peas

[00:01:09] Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense

[00:01:13] Pass the biscuits please

[00:01:18] There's five more acres in the lower forty

[00:01:21] I've got to plow

[00:01:25] And mama said it was shame about Billy Joe

[00:01:30] Anyhow

[00:01:34] Seems like nothin' ever comes

[00:01:36] To no good up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:01:42] And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off

[00:01:45] The Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:01:51] And brother said he recollected when he

[00:01:53] And Tom and Billie Joe

[00:01:58] Put a frog down my back at the

[00:02:01] Carroll County picture show

[00:02:06] And wasn't I talkin' to him after

[00:02:09] Church last Sunday night

[00:02:14] I'll have another piece-a apple pie

[00:02:18] 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 ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off

[00:02:34] The Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:02:39] And mama said to me Child

[00:02:41] What's happened to your appetite

[00:02:47] I've been cookin' all morning

[00:02:49] And you haven't touched a single bite

[00:02:56] That nice young preacher Brother Taylor

[00:02:58] Dropped by today

[00:03:03] Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday

[00:03:07] Oh by the way

[00:03:12] He said he saw a girl that looked a lot

[00:03:14] Like you up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:03:19] And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin'

[00:03:22] Off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:03:28] A year has come and gone since we heard

[00:03:31] The news 'bout Billy Joe

[00:03:36] And brother married Becky Thompson

[00:03:38] They bought a store in Tupelo

[00:03:44] There was a virus going 'round papa caught it

[00:03:47] And he died last spring

[00:03:52] And now mama doesn't seem to want

[00:03:55] To do much of anything

[00:04:01] And me I spend a lot of time pickin'

[00:04:03] Flowers up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:04:08] And drop them into the muddy water off

[00:04:11] The Tallahatchie Bridge
