The Ballad Of Billy Joe

The Ballad Of Billy Joe - Jerry Lee Lewis (杰米罗奎尔)

I'm the man their gonna hang for killin' Billy Joe

But there's a whole lot

More to the story than they know

Listen to my side of it and

I think that you will see

The reason why I killed to boy

That made a fool of me

There was a girl named Mary Anne

And Mary Anne was all the world to me

We planned to get married

And we set the date for the wedding was to be

But I walked up to her house one night

And out there on the porch they sat

And I swore they'd never get away with that

Billy Joe took Mary Anne

And when I to the dance hall one night

They didn't know I was standin out there

In the shadows out of sight

They sat down at a table and

She smiled as he gave her hand the pat

And I swore they would never get away with that

I swore they would never get away

With breakin' my heart

I knew that that was just one way

To keep them apart

Oh everybody says his mother begged him

Not to take his guns to town

He should have listened to her

Because she knew that

I was gonna shoot him down

I'll be hung tomorrow

Just because I had to kill that little rat

But I swore that he never get away with that

And Billy Joe didn't get away with that
