《Ode to Billie Joe》歌词

[00:00:00] Ode to Billie Joe - Flatt & Scruggs

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

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

[00:00:16] I was out choppin' cotton

[00:00:18] And my brother was bailin' hay

[00:00:25] And at dinner time we stopped

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

[00:00:33] And mama hollered at the backdoor

[00:00:35] You all remember to wipe your feet

[00:00:41] And then she said I got some news

[00:00:43] This morning from Choctaw Wridge

[00:00:50] Today Billie Joe Macallister

[00:00:52] Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:00:59] Papa said to mama as he passed

[00:01:01] Around the black eyed peas

[00:01:06] Billie Joe never had a lick of sense

[00:01:10] Pass the biscuits please

[00:01:15] There's five more acres

[00:01:17] In the lower forty I got to plow

[00:01:23] And mama said it was a shame

[00:01:25] About Billie Joe anyhow

[00:01:32] Seems like nothing ever comes

[00:01:33] To no good upon Choctaw Wridge

[00:01:40] Now Billie Joe Macallister

[00:01:42] Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:01:49] Brother said he recollected

[00:01:50] When he and Tom and Billie Joe

[00:01:57] Put a frog down my back

[00:01:59] At the Caroll County picture show

[00:02:05] And wasn't I talkin' to him

[00:02:07] After church last Sunday night

[00:02:13] I'll have another piece of apple pie

[00:02:16] You know it just don't seem right

[00:02:22] I saw him at sawmill yesterday

[00:02:25] On Choctaw Wridge

[00:02:30] Now you tell me Billie Joe's

[00:02:32] Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:02:39] Mama said to me child

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

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

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

[00:02:56] And nice young preacher brother

[00:02:58] Tailor dropped by today

[00:03:04] Said he'd be pleased to have dinner

[00:03:06] On Sunday oh by the way

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

[00:03:15] Like you upon Choctaw Wridge

[00:03:20] She and Billie Joe was throwin' something

[00:03:23] Off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:03:30] Year's come and gone

[00:03:31] Since we heard the news about Billie Joe

[00:03:37] Brother married Becky Thompson

[00:03:39] And they bought a store in Tupelo

[00:03:45] There was a virus goin' round papa

[00:03:48] Caught it and he died last spring

[00:03:53] Now mama doesn't seem to

[00:03:56] Want to do much of anything

[00:04:02] And me I spent a lot of time pickin'

[00:04:04] Flowers upon Chotaw Wridge

[00:04:10] And dropped 'em into the muddy water

[00:04:13] Off the Tallahatchie Bridge
