《Ode to Billie Joe》歌词

[00:00:00] Ode to Billie Joe - Nicola Conte/Bridgette Amofah

[00:00:05] Composer：Gentry

[00:00:11] It was the third of June

[00:00:14] Another sleepy

[00:00:15] Dusty Delta day

[00:00:22] I was out choppin' cotton

[00:00:25] And my brother was balin' hay

[00:00:33] And at dinner time we stopped

[00:00:36] And walked back to the house to eat

[00:00:44] And mama hollered out the back door

[00:00:47] Y'all remember to wipe your feet

[00:00:55] And then she said

[00:00:57] I got some news this mornin'

[00:01:00] From Choctaw Ridge

[00:01:07] Today

[00:01:07] Billy Joe MacAllister

[00:01:10] Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:01:19] And papa said to mama

[00:01:21] As he passed around the blackeyed peas

[00:01:28] Well

[00:01:30] Billy Joe never had a lick of sense

[00:01:33] Pass the biscuits please

[00:01:40] There's five more acres in the lower forty

[00:01:45] I've got to plow

[00:01:51] And mama said it was shame

[00:01:54] About Billy Joe

[00:01:57] Anyhow

[00:02:02] Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good

[00:02:07] Up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:02:13] And now Billy Joe MacAllister's

[00:02:17] Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:02:25] And brother said he recollected

[00:02:28] When he and Tom

[00:02:30] And Billie Joe

[00:02:35] Put a frog down my back

[00:02:38] At the Carroll County picture show

[00:02:47] And wasn't I talkin' to him after church

[00:02:51] Last Sunday night

[00:02:57] I'll have another piece of apple pie

[00:03:01] You know it just don't seem right

[00:03:09] I saw him at the sawmill yesterday

[00:03:13] On Choctaw Ridge

[00:03:19] And now ya tell me Billie Joe's

[00:03:23] Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:03:31] And mama said to me child

[00:03:34] What's happened to your appetite

[00:03:41] I've been cookin' all morning

[00:03:45] And you haven't touched a single bite

[00:03:53] That nice young preacher

[00:03:54] Brother Taylor

[00:03:57] Dropped by today

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

[00:04:09] By the way

[00:04:14] He said he saw a girl that looked just like you

[00:04:18] Up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:04:25] And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin'

[00:04:28] Off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:04:37] A year has come and gone

[00:04:39] Since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe

[00:04:47] And brother married Becky Thompson

[00:04:50] They bought a store in Tupelo

[00:04:58] There was a virus going 'round

[00:05:00] Papa caught it and he died last spring

[00:05:08] And now mama doesn't seem

[00:05:11] To want to do much of

[00:05:14] Anything

[00:05:20] And me

[00:05:21] I spend a lot of time pickin'

[00:05:23] Flowers up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:05:31] And drop them into the muddy water

[00:05:35] Off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:05:42] Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:05:45] Don't go and up jumped off

[00:05:51] Oooh

[00:05:53] Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:05:56] Don't go

[00:05:56] Don't go

[00:05:57] Don't go

[00:05:59] Jumped off jumped off

[00:06:04] Tallahatchie Bridge
