Текст песни Ode to Billy Joe (Live) - The 5th Dimension
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"
And
Papa
said
to
Mama
as
he
passed
around
the
blackeyed
Peas
"Well,
Billy
Joe
never
had
a
lick
of
sense,
pass
thecuits,
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
And
Brother
said
he
recollected
when
he
and
Tom
and
Billie
Joe
Put
a
frog
down
my
back
at
the
Carroll
County
picture
Show
And
wasn′t
I
talkin'
to
him
after
church
last
Sunday
Night?
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"
And
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
Billy
Joe
was
throwing
somethin'
off
the
Tallahatchie
Bridge"
A
year
has
come
′n'
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
wanna
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
