Tekst :

It was the 3rd of june another sleepy dusty delta day
i was out choppin cotton and my brother was bailin hay.
at dinner time we stopped off on down to the house to eat
and mama hollered out the backdoor y all remember to wipe your feet.

she said i heard bit of news this mornin from choctaw ridge
seems that billy joe macallister s jumped off the tallahatchee bridge.

well papa said to mama as he passed around the black eyed peas
billy joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits please
there s 5 more acres in the lower 40 i got to plow
mama said was a shame about billy joe anyhow
seems that nothin never comes to no good up on choctaw ridge and now you
tell me billy joe has jumped off the tallahatchee bridge.

brother recollected when he and tom and billy joe
put a frog down my back at the carol couty picture show
and wasnt i talkin to him after church last sunday night
i ll have another peice of apple pie but oh it dont seem right
saw him at the sawmill yesterday up on choctaw ridge
and now you tell me billy joe has jumped off the tallahatchee bridge

mama said to me child what s happened to your appetite?
i ve been cooking all morning and you havent touched a single bite

that nice young preacher brother taylor dropped by today,
said he d be pleased have dinner on sunday,
oh by the way
said he saw a girl who looked alot like you up on choctaw ridge
and she and billy joe was throwin something off the tallahatchee bridge.

a year s come and gone since we heard the news about billy joe
brother married becky thompson and they bought a store in tupelo
was a virus goin round and papa caught and he died last spring
now mama doesnt seem to wanto do much of anything
me i spend alot of my time pickin flowers up on choctaw ridge
and throw em into the muddy water off the tallahatchee bridge.

Do you know them crows
their feathers black
they standing round
and waiting for your soul
wait if you lose control

Do you know them wolves
they´re smelling blood
they gonna kill you
if you turn your back
you better...

What if I drown in this sea of devotion
Just a stone left unturned
My need is deep
Wide endless oceans
Feel it furious
The fire burns on

Let there be love
Everlasting
And it will live eternally
Will we...

Switch on the light, between each other
Elevated to your side, Now I’m nervous
It’s time to tell you honestly, so we can alter history

You are, first on my list,
When everything around is gone I know
You are, first on my list,
When everything is shown up...

Nobody believes me when I tell them that you re out of your mind!
Nobody believes me when I tell them that there s so much you hide
You treat me like a queen when we go out,
wanna show everyone what our love s about
All wrapped up in me whenever there...

Ils ont pris du plaisir, ça j en suis sûre
C est p t être bizarre d penser à ça
Mais c est fou c que ça m fait du bien
Ils ont pris du plaisir à me faire

Il l a sûrement embrassé
Il l a...
