《Ode To Billie Joe》歌词

[00:00:00] Ode To Billie Joe - Diana Ross

[00:00:09] It was the third of june

[00:00:12] Another sleepy dusty delta day

[00:00:19] I was out choppin' cotton

[00:00:21] And my brother was balin' hay

[00:00:29] And at dinner time we stopped

[00:00:31] And we walked back to the house to eat

[00:00:38] And mama hollered at the back door

[00:00:40] Y'all remember to wipe your feet'

[00:00:47] And then she said she got some news

[00:00:49] This mornin' from choctaw ridge

[00:00:56] Today billie joe macallister

[00:00:59] Jumped off the tallahatchie bridge

[00:01:06] Papa said to mama as he passed

[00:01:09] Around the black eyed peas

[00:01:15] Well billie joe never had a lick of sense

[00:01:18] Pass the biscuits please'

[00:01:24] There's five more acres

[00:01:25] In the lower forty I've got to plow'

[00:01:33] Mama said it was shame

[00:01:35] About billie joe anyhow

[00:01:42] Seems like nothin' ever comes

[00:01:44] To no good up on choctaw ridge

[00:01:51] And now billie joe macallister

[00:01:54] Jumped off the tallahatchie bridge

[00:02:01] And brother said he recollected

[00:02:03] When he and tom and billie joe

[00:02:10] Put a frog down my back

[00:02:12] At the carroll County picture show

[00:02:20] And wasn't I talkin' to him

[00:02:22] After church last sunday night

[00:02:28] I'll have another piece of apple pie

[00:02:32] You know it just don't seem right'

[00:02:38] I saw him at the sawmill

[00:02:40] Yesterday on choctaw ridge'

[00:02:47] And now you tell me billie joe's

[00:02:49] Jumped off the tallahatchie bridge'

[00:02:57] Mama said to me

[00:02:58] Child what's happened to your appetite

[00:03:05] I've been cookin' all morning

[00:03:07] And you haven't touched a single bite

[00:03:15] That nice young preacher

[00:03:16] Brother taylor dropped by today

[00:03:24] Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on sunday

[00:03:28] Oh by the way

[00:03:33] He said he saw a girl

[00:03:35] That looked a lot like you up on choctaw ridge

[00:03:42] And she and billie joe

[00:03:44] Was throwing somethin' off the tallahatchie bridge

[00:03:52] A year has come 'n gone

[00:03:54] Since we heard the news 'bout billie joe

[00:04:01] Brother married becky thompson

[00:04:03] They bought a store in tupelo

[00:04:10] There was a virus going 'round

[00:04:12] Papa caught it and he died last spring

[00:04:19] And now mama doesn't seem to

[00:04:22] Wanna do much of anything

[00:04:29] And me I spend a lot of time

[00:04:31] Pickin' flowers up on choctaw ridge

[00:04:38] And drop them into the muddy water

[00:04:41] Off the tallahatchie bridge
