《Ode To Billy Jo》歌词

[00:00:00] Ode To Billie Joe - Ike/Tina Turner (蒂娜·特纳)

[00:00:08] It was the third of June

[00:00:10] Another sleepy dusty Delta day

[00:00:16] I was out chopping cotton

[00:00:18] And my brother was baling hay

[00:00:23] And at dinner time we stopped

[00:00:26] And walked back to the house to eat

[00:00:31] And Mama hollered out the back door y'all

[00:00:33] Remember to wipe your feet

[00:00:39] And then she said

[00:00:40] I got some news this morning from Choctaw Ridge

[00:00:46] Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:00:54] N Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas

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

[00:01:05] Pass the biscuits please

[00:01:10] There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow

[00:01:17] Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe anyhow

[00:01:25] Seems like nothing ever comes to no good

[00:01:28] Up on Choctaw Ridge and now

[00:01:34] Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:01:41] Brother said he recollected

[00:01:43] When he and Tom and Billie Joe

[00:01:48] Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show

[00:01:56] And wasn't I talking to me after church last Sunday night

[00:02:04] I'll have another piece-a apple pie

[00:02:07] You know it don't seem right

[00:02:12] I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge

[00:02:19] And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped

[00:02:22] Off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:02:27] N Mama said to me child

[00:02:29] What's happened to your appetite

[00:02:34] I've been cooking all morning

[00:02:36] And you haven't touched a single bite

[00:02:43] That nice young preacher Brother Taylor

[00:02:45] Dropped by today said

[00:02:50] He'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday

[00:02:53] Oh by the way

[00:02:58] And he said he saw a girl that looked

[00:03:00] A lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:03:05] And she and Billy Joe was throwing something

[00:03:08] Off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:03:13] A year has come gone now

[00:03:15] Since we heard the news about Billy Joe

[00:03:21] Non Brother married Becky Thompson

[00:03:23] They bought a store in Tupelo

[00:03:29] There was a virus going round

[00:03:31] Papa caught it and he died last Spring

[00:03:36] And Mama doesn't seem to wanna

[00:03:39] Do much of anything

[00:03:44] And me I spend a lot of time

[00:03:46] Picking flowers up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:03:51] And drop them into the muddy water

[00:03:54] Off the Tallahatchie Bridge
