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

It was the third of June

Another sleepy,
Dusty, delta day

I was out choppin' coHon

And my brother
Was bailin' hay

And 01 dinneriime
We stopped

And walked back to

The house to eat

And mo ma hollered

At the back door

Y'all remember
To wipe your feet

And then she said,

I got some news

This mornin'
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's five more
Acres in the

Lower forty
I've got to plow

And mama said
It was a shame

Aboui Billie Joe
Anyhow

Seems like noihin'

Ever comes to no good
Up on Choctaw Ridge

And now Billie Joe
McAllister'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't I
Talkin' to him

After church last
Sunday night

I'll have another
Piece of apple pie

You know,
It don't seem rig hf

I saw him of the

Sawmill yesterday

On Choctaw Ridge

And now you tell me
Billie Joe's

Jumped off the
Talla haichee Bridge

Ma mo said to me,

Child what's happened
To your appetite

I been cookin'
All mornin'

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

Thai looked a lot like you
Up on Choctaw Ridge

And she and Billie Joe
Was throwin'

Somethin' 0H the
Talla haichee bridge

A year has come and gone
Since we heard

The news 'bout
Billie Joe

Brother ma rried

Becky Thompson

They bought a store
In Tupelo

There was a virus
Goin' 'round

Papa caught ii and
He died last spring

And now mo ma
Does n'i 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 wafer

Off the
Talla haichee bridge
