I'll Never Fall In Love Again

Bobbie Gentry

2:55

What Do You Get
When You Fall in Love
A Guy With a
Pin to Burst Your Bubble
That's What You
Get For All Your Trouble
I'll Never Fall in Love Again
I'll Never Fall in Love Again
What Do You Get
When You Kiss a Guy
You Get Enough Germs
to Catch Pneumonia
After You Do He'll Never Phone Ya
I'll Never Fall in Love Again
I'll Never Fall in Love Again
Don't Tell Me What Is All About
'cause I've Been There and
I'm Glad I'm Out
Out of the Chains the Chains
That Bind You
That Is Why I'm Here
to Remind You
What Do You Get
When You Fall in Love
You Only Get Lies and
Pain and Sorrow
So, For At Least Until Tomorrow
I'll Never Fall in Love Again
I'll Never Fall in Love Again
Don't Tell Me What Is All About
'cause I've Been There and
I'm Glad I'm Out
Out of the Chains the Chains
That Bind You
That Is Why I'm Here
to Remind You
What Do You Get
When You Give Your Heart
You Get It All Broken Up
and Battered
That's What You Get a Heart
That's Shattered
I'll Never Fall in Love Again
I'll Never Fall in Love Again

Something In The Way He Moves

Bobbie Gentry

2:36

There's something
in the way he moves
Looks my way and calls my name
It seems to leave
this troubled world behind
If I'm feeling down and blue
Troubled by some foolish game
He always seems
to make me change my mind
And I feel fine anytime
he's around me now
He's around me now
almost all the time
And if I'm well you can tell
he's been with me now
He's been with me now
quite a long long time
And I feel fine
Every now and then the things
I lean on lose their meanin'
And I find myself careenin'
Into places where
I should not let me go no
But he's got the power to go
where no one else can find me
And to silently remind me
Of the happiness and
the good times that I know
Just got to know him
It isn't what he's got to say
Or how he thinks and
where he's been
To me the words are nice the
way they sound
I like to hear them best that way
It doesn't matter what they mean
He says them mostly
just to calm me down
And I feel fine anytime
he's around me now
He's around me now
almost all the time
And if I'm well you can tell
he's been with me now
He's been with me now
quite a long long time
And I feel fine

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head [From 'Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid']

Bobbie Gentry

3:07

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet
are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on
my head, they keep fallin'
So I just did me some
talkin' to the sun
I told him I didn't like the way
he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on
my head, they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to
meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness
steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes
will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna
stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
It won't be long till happiness
steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes
will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop
the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
Nothin's worryin' me
Nothin's worryin' me

Seasons Come, Seasons Go

Bobbie Gentry

2:53

Dogwood blossoms float against
The ice encrusted creek bank
A tender blade of new green grass
Is bravely pushing upward
through the melting snow
The Spring breathes ruffles
through my hair
And whispers softly everywhere
Telling secrets in my eyes
Search the countryside
for your hello
The seasons come the seasons go
Lightning darts among the pines
Caught in a summer rainstorm
Soaking wet I look upon
the new plowed earth
With rivulets between each row
I almost feel you next to me
And it stirs a memory
That hangs suspended with a sigh
And gently weaves its way
through my bedroom window
The seasons come, the seasons go
See the grain lay scattered
In a trail that leads to nowhere
The rustling leaves
beneath my feet
Swirl in a colorful kaleidoscope
A thousand spans of
outstretched wings
Circle briefly hovering
And the swiftly fly away
Leaving me to stay and face
December snow
The seasons come the seasons go
Ice encases blades of grass
Encouraging the wind to pass
And in the frosty morning sun
A field of diamonds beckon
waving to and fro
I stare into the fire a while
Think of you my love and smile
Wishing you were here with me
Sharing the security I know
The seasons come the seasons go

Son Of A Preacher Man

Bobbie Gentry

2:08

Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit
he'd come along
When they gathered
round and started talkin'
That's when Billy
would take me walkin'
A-through the back yard
we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
The only one who
could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who
could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
oooh yes he was
Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started
sweet talkin' to me
He'd come and tell me
everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me
everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight
The only one who could
ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could
ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was he was
oooh yes he was
How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowing
Lookin' to see
how much we've grown
And the only one
who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could
ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was he was oh
And the only one
who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man

You've Made Me So Very Happy

Ode To Billie Joe

Bobbie Gentry

4:16

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
n Papa said to Mama as he
passed around the blackeyed peas
Well Billy Joe never had a lick
of sense pass
the biscuits please
There's five more acres in the
lower forty I've got to plow
n 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
n 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
I'll have another piece a apple
pie you know it don't seem right
I saw him at the sawmill
yesterday on Choctaw Ridge
And now ya tell me Billie Joe's
jumped off the
Tallahatchie Bridge
n 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
n 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

The Fool On The Hill

Bobbie Gentry

3:49

Day after day alone on the hill
The man with the foolish grin
Is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
Well on the way head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices
Talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
But nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
Oh round round
round round round
He never listens to them
He know that they're the fool
And they don't like him
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round

Eleanor Rigby

Bobbie Gentry

2:31

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice
In the church where
a weddin' has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window
wearin' the face
That she keeps
in a jar by the door
Who is it for
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong
Father McKenzie writin' the words
Of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him workin'
darnin' his socks
In the night when
there's nobody there
What does he care
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby died in the church
And was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wipin' the dirt
from his hands
As he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong
Ah look at all the lonely people
Ah look at all the lonely people

Gentle On My Mind

Bobbie Gentry

3:11

It's knowin' that
your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to
leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed
behind your couch
And it's knowing
I'm not shackled
by forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that
have dried upon some line
That keeps you
in the backroads
by the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle
on my mind
It's not clinging to the rocks
and ivy planted
On their columns now
that binds me
Or something that
somebody said
because they thought
We fit together walkin'
It's just knowing that
the world will not be
cursing or forgiving
When I walk along
some railroad track and find
That you're moving
on the backroads
by the rivers of my memory
And for hours
you're just gentle on my mind.
Though the wheat fields
and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and
the highways come between us
And some other woman
crying to her mother
'Cause she turned
and I was gone.
I still might run in silence
 tears of joy might stain my face
And a summer sun
might burn me till I'm blind
But not to where I cannot
see you walkin'
on the backroads
By the rivers flowing
gentle on my mind
The shutters creak
and Autumn winds
That make me draw
inside myself in silence
Cross-legged now
I sit and watch
The endless chase of leaves
across my yard
And layin' down my hairbrush
I lean backward
in my window seat and find
That you're movin'
on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
Ever smilin', ever gentle
on my mind
Through cupped hands
'round a tin can
I pretend I hold you
to my breast and find
That you're waving
from the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
Ever smilin' ever gentle
on my mind

In The Ghetto

Bobbie Gentry

2:49

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray
Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing
that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
People, don't you understand
A child needs a helpin' hand
Or he'll grow to be
an angry young man someday
Take a look at you and me
Are we too blind to see
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way
Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy
with a runny nose
plays in the street
as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam
the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto
Then one night in desperation
The young man breaks away
He buys a gun
and he steals a car
He tries to run,
but he don't get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers 'round
an angry young man
Face down on the street
with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
And as her young man dies
On a cold and gray
Chicago mornin'
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries

Little Green Apples

featuring Glen Campbell

Bobbie Gentry

3:16

Well, I wake up in the morning
With my hair down in my eyes
And she says hi
And I hurry to
the breakfast table
While the kids are
going off to school, goodbye
And she reaches out
and takes my hand
And squeezes it and says
how you feelin' Hon
And I look across
at smiling lips that warm my heart
And I see my morning sun
And if that's not loving me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make
little green apples
And it don't rain
in Indianapolis in the summertime
There's no such thing
as Dr. Suess
Disneyland and Mother Goose
no nursery rhyme
God didn't make
little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis
in the summertime
And when my self is feeling low
I think about your face aglow
and ease my mind
Sometimes I call him up
knowing he's busy
And ask if he could get away
and meet me
maybe grab a bite to eat
And he drops what he's doing
and hurry's down to meet me
And I'm always late
He sits waiting
patiently and smiles
when he first sees me
Because he's made that way
And if that's not loving me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make
little green apples
And it don't snow in Indianapolis
when the winter comes
There's no such thing
as make believe
Puppy dogs and autumn leaves,
no B.B. guns
God didn't make
little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis
in the summer time
And when my self is feeling low
I think about your face aglow
and ease my mind
