Ode to Billie Joe

Ode to Billie Joe - Flatt & Scruggs[00:00:00]

It was the third of June[00:00:08]

Another sleepy dusty Delta day[00:00:10]

I was out choppin' cotton[00:00:16]

And my brother was bailin' hay[00:00:18]

And at dinner time we stopped[00:00:25]

And walked back to the house to eat[00:00:27]

And mama hollered at the backdoor[00:00:33]

You all remember to wipe your feet[00:00:35]

And then she said I got some news[00:00:41]

This morning from Choctaw Wridge[00:00:43]

Today Billie Joe Macallister[00:00:50]

Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:00:52]

Papa said to mama as he passed[00:00:59]

Around the black eyed peas[00:01:01]

Billie Joe never had a lick of sense[00:01:06]

Pass the biscuits please[00:01:10]

There's five more acres[00:01:15]

In the lower forty I got to plow[00:01:17]

And mama said it was a shame[00:01:23]

About Billie Joe anyhow[00:01:25]

Seems like nothing ever comes[00:01:32]

To no good upon Choctaw Wridge[00:01:33]

Now Billie Joe Macallister[00:01:40]

Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:01:42]

Brother said he recollected[00:01:49]

When he and Tom and Billie Joe[00:01:50]

Put a frog down my back[00:01:57]

At the Caroll County picture show[00:01:59]

And wasn't I talkin' to him[00:02:05]

After church last Sunday night[00:02:07]

I'll have another piece of apple pie[00:02:13]

You know it just don't seem right[00:02:16]

I saw him at sawmill yesterday[00:02:22]

On Choctaw Wridge[00:02:25]

Now you tell me Billie Joe's[00:02:30]

Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:02:32]

Mama said to me child[00:02:39]

What's happened to your apetite[00:02:41]

I've been cooking all morning[00:02:47]

And you haven't touched a single bite[00:02:49]

And nice young preacher brother[00:02:56]

Tailor dropped by today[00:02:58]

Said he'd be pleased to have dinner[00:03:04]

On Sunday oh by the way[00:03:06]

Said he saw a girl that looked a lot[00:03:12]

Like you upon Choctaw Wridge[00:03:15]

She and Billie Joe was throwin' something[00:03:20]

Off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:03:23]

Year's come and gone[00:03:30]

Since we heard the news about Billie Joe[00:03:31]

Brother married Becky Thompson[00:03:37]

And they bought a store in Tupelo[00:03:39]

There was a virus goin' round papa[00:03:45]

Caught it and he died last spring[00:03:48]

Now mama doesn't seem to[00:03:53]

Want to do much of anything[00:03:56]

And me I spent a lot of time pickin'[00:04:02]

Flowers upon Chotaw Wridge[00:04:04]

And dropped 'em into the muddy water[00:04:10]

Off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:04:13]
