《Ode to Billie Joe》歌词

[00:00:00] Ode to Billie Joe - Megan Fanning

[00:00:10] It was the third of June

[00:00:13] Another sleepy dusty Delta day

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

[00:00:24] And my brother was balin' hay

[00:00:32] And at dinner time we stopped

[00:00:35] And walked back to the house to eat

[00:00:42] And Mama hollered out the back door

[00:00:45] "y'all remember to wipe your feet "

[00:00:53] And then she said

[00:00:54] "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge "

[00:01:03] "Today Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off

[00:01:07] The Tallahatchie Bridge "

[00:01:20] Papa said to Mama as he

[00:01:23] Passed around the black-eyed peas

[00:01:30] "Well Billie Joe never had a lick of sense

[00:01:34] Pass the biscuits please "

[00:01:41] "There's five more acres in the lower forty

[00:01:45] That I got to plow "

[00:01:51] And Mama said "Well it's a shame

[00:01:53] About Billie Joe anyhow "

[00:02:02] It seems like nothin' ever comes to

[00:02:05] No good up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:02:12] And now Billie Joe MacAllister's jumped off

[00:02:16] The Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:02:29] Mama said to me "Child

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

[00:02:39] "I've been cookin' all mornin'

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

[00:02:50] "That nice young preacher Brother Taylor

[00:02:53] Dropped by today "

[00:02:59] "Said he'd be pleased to have supper

[00:03:02] On Sunday oh by the way "

[00:03:10] "He said he saw a girl

[00:03:13] That looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge"

[00:03:20] "And she and Billie Joe was throwing somethin'

[00:03:24] Off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

[00:03:32] A year has come on gone

[00:03:34] Since we heard the news about Billie Joe

[00:03:41] Brother married Becky Thompson

[00:03:44] They bought a store out in Tupelo

[00:03:52] There was a virus going 'round

[00:03:54] Papa caught it and he died last Spring

[00:04:01] And now Mama

[00:04:03] Doesn't seem to wanna do

[00:04:06] Much of anything

[00:04:13] And me I spend much time

[00:04:15] Pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:04:22] And drop them in the muddy

[00:04:25] Water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:04:34] Billie Joe MacAllister's jumped off

[00:04:37] The Tallahatchie Bridge
