Kind of Blue- Ooh Bee Ooh Bee Doo
Mississippi 1954
"Don’t you bring that no good
So and so 'round here.
If you bring him to ma door
Bobby Roy and Billie Joe
Will make him disappear."
But Mother, I love him.
"She’s a spool of trouble, son.
A stitch in time may save nine
But ain't gon save you from the vine."
But Papa, I need her.
(And ooh ain’t love a thrill)
"Son, inteegration works in Paris
Even better in Buenos Aires
But in Mississippi-
Oh, that can get you killed."
"Son, a White girl ain’t what you missin’."
"Girl, get a White boy to give you kissin’."
But neither one of them would listen
They walked hand in hand
Down love's long highway
Singing,
Gonna have it my way
Gonna get married
Two children down the hallway
Oooh Bee Oooh Bee Dooo
Six cars pulled beside them
When that Southern sky grew dim
Billy Joe said, Boy,
We gonna put you on a limb.
But they kept right on singin’
(Ooh love is such a thrill)
We’re four-thousand miles from Paris
We were searchin' for Buenos Aires
But we got each other still.
Oooh Bee Ooo Bee Dooo
