ODE TO BILLY JOE Lyrics – THE 5TH DIMENSION
Singer: THE 5TH DIMENSION
Title: ODE TO BILLY 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 Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the
Tallahatchie Bridge”
And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed
Peas
“Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass thecuits, please”
“There’s five more acres in the lower forty I’ve got to
Plow”
And 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
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?
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 Billy Joe was throwing somethin’ off the
Tallahatchie Bridge”
A year has come ‘n’ gone since we heard the news ’bout
Billy 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

ODE TO BILLY JOE – Terjemahan / Translation
Itu adalah yang ketiga Juni, delta yang mengantuk dan berdebu lainnya
Hari
Saya keluar dari Choppin ‘Cotton dan saudara laki -laki saya BALIN’ HAY
Dan saat makan malam kami berhenti dan berjalan kembali ke
Rumah untuk dimakan
Dan Mama berteriak keluar dari pintu belakang “Kalian ingat
Bersihkan kakimu ”
Dan kemudian dia berkata, “Saya mendapat berita pagi ini
Choctaw Ridge ”
“Hari ini Billy Joe Macallister melompat dari
Jembatan Tallahatchie ”
Dan Papa berkata kepada Mama ketika dia melewati blackeyed
Kacang polong
“Yah, Billy Joe tidak pernah memiliki akal sehat, lewati jantan, tolong”
“Ada lima hektar lagi di empat puluh lebih rendah yang harus saya lakukan
Bajak”
Dan Mama mengatakan itu memalukan tentang Billy Joe, bagaimanapun juga
Sepertinya tidak ada yang pernah datang untuk tidak ada gunanya di choctaw
Punggung bukit
Dan sekarang Billy Joe Macallister melompat dari
Jembatan Tallahatchie
Dan saudara berkata dia ingat ketika dia dan Tom dan
Billie Joe
Letakkan katak di punggungku di gambar Carroll County
Menunjukkan
Dan bukankah saya berbicara dengannya setelah gereja hari Minggu lalu
Malam?
Sepertinya tidak benar ”
“Saya melihatnya di penggergajian kemarin di Choctaw Ridge”
“Dan sekarang kau memberitahuku billie joe melompat dari
Jembatan Tallahatchie ”
Dan Mama berkata kepada saya, “Nak, apa yang terjadi pada Anda
Nafsu makan?”
“Saya sudah memasak sepanjang pagi dan Anda belum menyentuh
Satu gigitan ”
“Pengkhotbah muda yang baik itu, saudara laki -laki Taylor, mampir
Hari ini”
“Dia akan senang makan malam pada hari Minggu, oh, dengan
Jalan”
“Dia bilang dia melihat seorang gadis yang sangat mirip denganmu
Choctaw Ridge ”
“Dan dia dan Billy Joe membuang sesuatu dari
Jembatan Tallahatchie ”
Setahun telah datang ‘n’ hilang sejak kami mendengar berita ‘pertarungan
Billy Joe
Dan saudara menikahi Becky Thompson, mereka membeli toko
Di Tupelo
Ada virus yang terjadi, Papa menangkapnya dan dia
Meninggal musim semi lalu
Dan sekarang mama sepertinya tidak ingin melakukan banyak hal
Dan saya, saya menghabiskan banyak waktu memetik bunga
Choctaw Ridge
Dan menjatuhkannya ke dalam air berlumpur dari tallahatchie
Menjembatani
