《Ode To Billie Joe(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] Ode To Billie Joe(Album Version) - Molly Johnson

[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

[00:00:25] At dinner time we stopped

[00:00:27] And walked back to the house to eat

[00:00:32] And Mama hollered out the back door

[00:00:35] "you all remember to wipe your feet"

[00:00:40] And then she said

[00:00:41] "I got some news this morning from Choctaw Ridge"

[00:00:47] "Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

[00:00:57] And Papa said to Mama

[00:00:59] As he passed around the blackeyed peas

[00:01:04] "Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense

[00:01:07] Pass the biscuits please"

[00:01:11] "There's five more acres in the lower forty

[00:01:15] Got to plow"

[00:01:19] And Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe anyhow

[00:01:27] Seems like nothing ever comes to no good

[00:01:30] Up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:01:35] And now Billy Joe MacAllister

[00:01:37] Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:01:43] And Brother said he recollected

[00:01:46] When he and Tom and Billie Joe

[00:01:51] Put a frog down my back

[00:01:53] At the Carroll County picture show

[00:01:58] And wasn't I talking to him after Church

[00:02:02] Last Sunday night

[00:02:06] "I'll have another piece of apple pie

[00:02:10] You know it don't seem right"

[00:02:15] "I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"

[00:02:22] "And now you tell me Billie Joe's

[00:02:24] Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

[00:02:31] And Mama said to me

[00:02:32] "Child what's happened to your appetite "

[00:02:38] "I've been cooking all morning

[00:02:41] You haven't touched a single bite"

[00:02:47] "Nice young preacher Brother Taylor

[00:02:49] Dropped by today"

[00:02:53] "Said he'd be pleased to have dinner

[00:02:55] On Sunday oh by the way"

[00:03:01] "He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you

[00:03:05] Up on Choctaw Ridge"

[00:03:10] "And she and Billy Joe were throwing something

[00:03:12] Off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

[00:04:04] A year has come and gone since

[00:04:06] We heard the news about Billy Joe

[00:04:12] And Brother married Becky Thompson

[00:04:14] Bought a store in Tupelo

[00:04:19] There was a virus going around

[00:04:21] Papa caught it died last Spring

[00:04:27] And now Mama doesn't seem to

[00:04:29] Wanna do much of anything

[00:04:35] And me I spend a lot of time picking flowers

[00:04:39] Up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:04:43] And drop them in the muddy water

[00:04:45] Off the Tallahatchie Bridge Yeah

[00:04:50] Ooh the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:04:54] Oh Muddy Muddy Muddy Water

[00:04:57] Off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:05:03] Sleepy Dusty Delta Day

[00:05:14] Tallahatchie Bridge
