    Ode To Billie Joe
    French Title: Marie-Jeanne
    Composer(s): Bobbie Gentry
    Originally performed by: Bobbie Gentry Covered by various other artists



    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"

    'n' Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas
    "Well Billy 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"
    'n' 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

    'n' 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"

    'n' 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 Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

    A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
    'n' 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
