Where Is Bobbie Gentry? lyrics

[Intro]
One, two
A-one, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
Out in the desert where the sun slowly cures deep brown
She's got a little shack, a pickup truck
Parked out on the edge of town
It's just what I imagined, no one knows where she'd be
Maybe she's in heaven passing black-eyed peas

[Chorus]
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
Where is Bobbie Gentry?

[Verse 2]
Up in Alaska, Hollywood, or maybe in Japan
I bet that she's still beautiful
Goes barefoot everywhere she can
Does she still play guitar or write a song or two?
Maybe that was over, she's got better things to do

[Chorus]
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
[Bridge]
If I could just find you
I would love you then I'd leave you alone
If I could just find you
I would love you and I'd leave you alone
Alone (Woo)

[Verse 3]
In 1967, Bobbie made it on the Billboard charts
Then ten years later
Disappeared and broke everybody's heart
Does she ever go to Choctaw?
Ever go back on that ridge?
Well, I was the baby
Who was thrown off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Well, I was the baby
Who was thrown off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[Chorus]
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
B-O-double B-I-E G-E-N-T-R-Y
B-O-double B-I-E G-E-N-T-R-Y
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
Where is Bobbie Gentry? (Here it comes)
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
