Ode To Billie Joe Lyrics – Bobbie Gentry
Singer: Bobbie Gentry
Title: Ode To Billie Joe
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-a 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”
Mama said to me, “Child, what’s happened to your appetite?
I’ve 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 that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billie Joe was throwin’ somethin’ off the Tallahatchie Bridge”
A year has come and 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 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 water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Ode To Billie Joe – Terjemahan / Translation
Itu adalah yang ketiga dari Juni, hari delta yang mengantuk, dusty
Saya keluar dari Cotton Choppin, dan kakak saya adalah Hay Balin
Dan saat makan malam kami berhenti dan berjalan kembali ke rumah untuk makan
Dan Mama menggembirakan pintu belakang, “Kalian, ingatlah untuk menghapus kakimu!”
Dan kemudian dia berkata, “Aku punya berita pagi ini dari Choctaw Ridge
Hari ini, Billie Joe MacAllister melompat dari Jembatan Talmanachie ”
Dan Papa berkata kepada Mama, ketika dia melewati kacang polong blackeyed
“Yah, Billie Joe tidak pernah memiliki sensasi; lulus biskuit, silakan
Ada lima hektar lagi di empat puluh yang lebih rendah, aku harus membajak ”
Dan Mama berkata itu memalukan tentang Billie Joe, bagaimanapun
Sepertinya tidak ada yang tidak baik di Choctaw Ridge
Dan sekarang Billie Joe MacAllister melompat dari Jembatan Talahatchie
Dan saudara berkata dia ingat ketika dia, dan Tom, dan Billie Joe
Letakkan katak di belakang saya di acara gambar carroll county
Dan bukankah aku berbicara kepadanya setelah gereja Minggu malam lalu?
“Aku akan punya bagian lain – pai apel; kamu tahu, sepertinya tidak benar
Saya melihatnya di Sawmill kemarin di Choctaw Ridge
Dan sekarang Anda memberi tahu saya Billie Joe melompat dari Jembatan Talmanachie ”
Mama berkata kepada saya, “Anak, apa yang terjadi dengan nafsu makan Anda?
Saya telah memasak semua Mornin ‘, dan Anda belum menyentuh satu gigitan
Pengkhotbah muda yang baik itu, Brother Taylor, dijatuhkan hari ini
Mengatakan dia akan senang makan malam pada hari Minggu, oh, omong-omong
Dia bilang dia melihat seorang gadis yang tampak sangat mirip denganmu di Choctaw Ridge
Dan dia dan Billie Joe melempar ‘sesuatu dari Jembatan Talmanachie ”
Setahun telah datang dan pergi sejak kami mendengar berita tentang Billie Joe
Dan saudara menikahi Becky Thompson; Mereka membeli toko di Tupelo
Ada putaran virus; Papa menangkapnya, dan dia meninggal musim semi lalu
Dan sekarang Mama sepertinya tidak ingin melakukan banyak hal
Dan aku, aku menghabiskan banyak waktu memetik bunga di choctaw ridge
Dan jatuhkan mereka ke air berlumpur dari jembatan Tallahatchie
