The Supremes - Ode To Billie Joe слова песни




(B. Gentry) It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta dayI was out choppin` cotton and my brother was balin` hayAnd at dinner time we stopped and we walked back to the house to eatAnd mama hollered at the back door "y`all remember to wipe your feet"And then she said she got some news this mornin` from Choctaw RidgeToday Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie BridgePapa said to mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas"Well, Billie 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"Mama said it was shame about Billie Joe, anyhowSeems like nothin` ever comes to no good up on Choctaw RidgeAnd now Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie BridgeAnd brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie JoePut a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture showAnd wasn`t I talkin` to him after church last Sunday night?"I`ll have another piece of apple pie, you know it just don`t seem right""I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge""And now you tell me Billie Joe`s jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"Mama said to me "Child, what`s happened to your appetite?""I`ve been cookin` all morning and you haven`t touched a single bite""That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today""Said 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 Billie Joe was throwing somethin` off the Tallahatchie Bridge"A year has come `n` gone since we heard the news `bout Billie 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 pickin` flowers up on Choctaw RidgeAnd drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
