<pre><font size='+2'>BOBBIE GENTRY ODE TO BILLIE JOE lyrics GENTRY BOBBIE</font><br>It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day<br />
I was out choppin` cotton and my brother was balin` hay<br />
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat<br />
And Mama hollered out the back door `Y`all remember to wipe your feet`<br />
And then she said `I got some news this mornin` from Choctaw Ridge`<br />
`Today Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge`<br />
<br />
And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas<br />
`Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please`<br />
`There`s five more acres in the lower forty I`ve got to plow`<br />
And Mama said it was shame about Billie Joe, anyhow<br />
Seems like nothin` ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge<br />
And now Billie Joe MacAllister`s jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge<br />
<br />
And Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe<br />
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show<br />
And wasn`t I talkin` to him after church last Sunday night?<br />
`I`ll have another piece of apple pie, you know it don`t seem right`<br />
`I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge`<br />
`And now you tell me Billie Joe`s jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge`<br />
<br />
And Mama said to me `Child, what`s happened to your appetite?`<br />
`I`ve been cookin` all morning and you haven`t touched a single bite`<br />
`That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today`<br />
`Said he`d be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way`<br />
`He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge`<br />
`And she and Billie Joe was throwing somethin` off the Tallahatchie Bridge`<br />
<br />
A year has come `n` gone since we heard the news `bout Billie Joe<br />
And Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo<br />
There was a virus going `round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring<br />
And now Mama doesn`t seem to wanna do much of anything<br />
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin` flowers up on Choctaw Ridge<br />
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/bobbie_gentry_ode_to_billie_joe_lyrics-gentry_bobbie.html" target='_blank'>BOBBIE GENTRY ODE TO BILLIE JOE lyrics GENTRY BOBBIE</a></pre>

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 Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge`

And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed 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 shame about Billie Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin` ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billie 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 of apple pie, you know it 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 Billie Joe was throwing somethin` off the Tallahatchie Bridge`

A year has come `n` gone since we heard the news `bout Billie 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
