GUEST,treefrogdemon | Lyr Req: Ode to Billie Joe (Bobbie Gentry) (59* d) | RE: Lyr Req: Ode to Billie Joe (Bobbie Gentry) | 17 Apr 09 |
Rachel Harrington, on Bob Harris' Radio 2 country show last night, said the song actually has 11 verses but Bobbie Gentry's record company said that would make the song too long...don't know whether the missing verses solve the mystery! Having said that, RH proceeded to sing it but left off the last verse - the most poignant of all, where we find the narrator has lost not just Billie Joe but all her loved ones. |
