The Grass Roots - Ballad Of Billy Joe
Versuri/text:
There was a girl called Mary Anne
And Mary Anne was all the world to me
We planned to get married
And we set the date the wedding was to be
I went up to her house one night
And out there on the front porch they sat
And I swore they'd never get away with that
Billy Joe took Mary Ann
Up to the dance hall one night
They didn't know that I was standing
Back there in the shadows out of sight
They sat down a table
and she smiled as he gave her hand a pat
And I swore they'd never get away with that
I swore they'd never get away with
Breakin my heart
I knew that there was just one way to
Keep them apart
Everybody says his mother
Told him not to take his guns to town
He should have listened to her
She knew I was gonna shoot him down
Now I'll be hung tomorrow
Just because I had to kill that little rat
And I swore they'd never get away with that
I swore they'd never get away with breaking my heart
I knew that there was just one way to keep them apart
Everybody says his mother
Told him not to take his guns to town
He should listened to her
She knew I was gonna shoot him down
Now I'll be hung tomorrow
Just because I had to kill that little rat
And I swore they'd never get away with that
And Billy Joe didn't get away with that
