Ode To Billie Joe - Diana Ross (黛安娜·罗斯)
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 we walked back to the house to eat

And 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 ridge

Today billie joe macallister
Jumped off the tallahatchie bridge

Papa said to mama 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'

Mama said it was shame
About billie joe anyhow

Seems like nothin' ever comes
To no good up on choctaw ridge

And now billie joe macallister
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 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 joe

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
