Jill Sobule - Where Is Bobbie Gentry? Lyrics

 Out in the desert where the sun slowly cures deep brown
She's got a little shack, a pick-up 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
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
 
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 is over, she's got better things to do
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
 
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
 
1967, Bobbie made it to the Billboard charts
Then ten years later, disappeared and broke everybody's heart
Does she ever go to Choctaw, ever go back on that bridge
Well, I was the baby who was thrown off the Talahatchie Bridge
I was the baby who was thrown off the Talahatchie Bridge
 
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
B-o-b-b-i-e G-e-n-t-r-y
B-o-b-b-i-e G-e-n-t-r-y
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
Where is Bobbie Gentry?

 Out in the desert where the sun slowly cures deep brown
She's got a little shack, a pick-up 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
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
 
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 is over, she's got better things to do
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
 
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

Does she ever go to Choctaw, ever go back on that bridge

I was the baby who was thrown off the Talahatchie Bridge

B-o-b-b-i-e G-e-n-t-r-y
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
Where is Bobbie Gentry?
