เนื้อเพลง Ode to Billy Joe

Ode to Billy Joe - Patty Smyth

Composed by:Bobbie Gentry

It was the third of June another sleepy dusty Delta day

I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay

And at dinner time we stopped and walked back

To the house to eat

And mama hollered out the back door y'all

Remember to wipe your feet

And then she said I got some news

This mornin' from Choctaw Ridge

Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the

Tallahatchie Bridge

Papa said to mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas

Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense

Pass the biscuits please

There's five more acres in the lower forty

I've got to plow

And mama said it was shame about Billy Joe anyhow

Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge

And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge

And now ya tell me Billie Joe's

Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Mama said to me child what's happened to your appetite

Well I've been cookin' all morning

And you haven't touched a single bite

That nice young preacher

Brother Taylor dropped by today

And he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday

Oh by the way

He said he saw a girl that looked

A lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge

And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Year has come and gone since we heard

The news 'bout Billy Joe

And brother married Becky Thompson they bought a store in Tupelo

There was a virus going 'round papa caught it

And he died last spring

And now mama doesn't seem to want to do much of anything

And me I spend a lot of time

Pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge

And drop them into the muddy

Water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Yeah

And drop them into the muddy

Water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

 

Yeah
