[00:00:00] Ode to Billie Joe - Bobby Solo/Silvia

[00:00:01] Written by：Bobbie Gentry

[00:00:10] It was the third of June another sleepy dusty delta day

[00:00:20] I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay

[00:00:29] And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat

[00:00:39] And mama hollered out the back door y'all remember to wipe your feet

[00:00:48] And then she said I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw ridge

[00:00:58] Today Billy Joe Macalister jumped off the Tallahatchie bridge

[00:01:08] And papa said to mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas

[00:01:17] Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense pass the biscuits please

[00:01:27] There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow

[00:01:37] And mama said it was shame about Billy Joe anyhow

[00:01:46] Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on choctaw ridge

[00:01:56] And now Billy Joe Macalister's jumped off the Tallahatchie bridge

[00:02:06] And brother said he recollected when he and tom and Billie Joe

[00:02:16] Put a frog down my back at the Carroll county picture show

[00:02:25] And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night

[00:02:35] I'll have another piece a apple pie you know it don't seem right

[00:03:24] I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw ridge

[00:03:34] And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:03:44] And mama said to me child what's happened to your appetite

[00:03:53] I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite

[00:04:03] That nice young preacher brother Taylor dropped by today

[00:04:13] Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday oh by the way

[00:04:22] He said he saw a girl that looked a lot

[00:04:25] Like you up on Choctaw ridge

[00:04:32] And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge
