paula cole - ode to billy joe كلمات الأغنية

Loading...

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 p-ssed around the blackeyed peas
well, billy joe never had a l!ck of sense; p-ss 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

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?
i’ll have another piece-a apple pie; you know, it don’t seem right
i saw him at the sawmill yesterday on choctaw ridge
and now ya tell me billie joe’s jumped off the tallahatchie bridge

and mama said to me, child, what’s happened to your appet-te?
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 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
