Where Is Bobbie Gentry?

Jill Sobule
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
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 was over; she's got better things to do
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
(Whoo)
In 1967, Bobbie made it on the <i>Billboard</i> 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
