Sinead O`Connor - Ode To Billy Joe слова песни




This song was written and originally sang by Bobby GentryIt was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta dayI was out choppin` cotton and my brother was baling hayAnd at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eatAnd Mama hollered out the back door "y`all remember to wipe your feet"And then she said "I got some news this morning from Chocktow RidgeToday Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahachee Bridge"Papa said to Mama as he passed around the black eyed peas"Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits pleaseThere`s five more acres in the lower forty I got to plow"And Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhowSeems like nothing ever comes to no good up on Chocktow RidgeAnd now Billy Joe MacAllister`s jumped off the Tallahachee BridgeBrother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billy Joe,Put a frog down my back at the Carrol County picture show,And wasn`t I talkin` to him after church last Sunday night,I`ll have another piece of apple pie, you know, it don`t seem right`I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctow RidgeAnd now you tell me Billy Joe`s jumped off the Tallahatchee BridgeMama said to me "Child, what`s happened to your appetite?I`ve been cooking all morning and you haven`t touched a single biteThat nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by todaySaid 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 Chocktow RidgeAnd she and Billy Joe was throwing something off the Tallahachee Bridge"A year has come and gone since we heard the news `bout Billy JoeBrother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in TupeloThere was a virus going `round, Papa caught it and he died last SpringAnd now Mama doesn`t seem to wanna do much of anythingAnd me, I spend a lot of time picking flowers up on Chocktow RidgeAnd drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahachee Bridge
