Karaoke Track: Ode To Billie Joe by Bobbie Gentry (Monster Hits)

It was the third of June

Another sleepy,
Dusty, delta day

I was out choppin&#39; coHon

And my brother
Was bailin&#39; hay

And 01 dinneriime
We stopped

And walked back to

The house to eat

And mo ma hollered

At the back door

Y&#39;all remember
To wipe your feet

And then she said,

I got some news

This mornin&#39;
From Choctaw Ridge

Today Billie Joe
McAllisfer

Jumped off the
Talla haichee Bridge

Pa pa said to ma ma
As he passed around

The black- eyed peas

Well Billie Joe never
Had a lick of sense

Pass the biscuits
Please

There&#39;s five more
Acres in the

Lower forty
I&#39;ve got to plow

And mama said
It was a shame

Aboui Billie Joe
Anyhow

Seems like noihin&#39;

Ever comes to no good
Up on Choctaw Ridge

And now Billie Joe
McAllister&#39;s

Jumped off the
Talla haichee Bridge

Brother said
He recollecled

When he and Tom
And Billie Joe

Put a frog
Down my back

At the Carroll counfy

Picture show

And wasn&#39;t I
Talkin&#39; to him

After church last
Sunday night

I&#39;ll have another
Piece of apple pie

You know,
It don&#39;t seem rig hf

I saw him of the

Sawmill yesterday

On Choctaw Ridge

And now you tell me
Billie Joe&#39;s

Jumped off the
Talla haichee Bridge

Ma mo said to me,

Child what&#39;s happened
To your appetite

I been cookin&#39;
All mornin&#39;

And you haven&#39;t
Touched a single bite

That nice young

Preacher Brother Taylor

Dropped by today

Said he&#39;d be pleased

To have dinner

On Sunday,
Oh by the way

He said he saw a girl

Thai looked a lot like you
Up on Choctaw Ridge

And she and Billie Joe
Was throwin&#39;

Somethin&#39; 0H the
Talla haichee bridge

A year has come and gone
Since we heard

The news &#39;bout
Billie Joe

Brother ma rried

Becky Thompson

They bought a store
In Tupelo

There was a virus
Goin&#39; &#39;round

Papa caught ii and
He died last spring

And now mo ma
Does n&#39;i seem to want

To do much
Of anything

And me,

I spend a lot of time

Pickin&#39; flowers up on

Choctaw Ridge

And drop them into
The muddy wafer

Off the
Talla haichee bridge
