Ode to Billie Joe - Hit Co. Masters[00:00:00]

It was the third of June[00:00:12]

Another sleepy dusty Delta day[00:00:14]

I was out choppin' cotton[00:00:21]

And my brother was balin' hay[00:00:23]

And at dinner time we stopped and[00:00:29]

Walked back to the house to eat[00:00:31]

And mama hollered out the back door[00:00:37]

Y'all remember to wipe your feet[00:00:39]

And then she said[00:00:45]

I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge[00:00:46]

Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off[00:00:53]

The Tallahatchie Bridge[00:00:56]

And papa said to mama[00:01:02]

As he passed around the blackeyed peas[00:01:03]

Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense[00:01:09]

Pass the biscuits please[00:01:13]

There's five more acres in the lower forty[00:01:18]

I've got to plow[00:01:21]

And mama said it was shame about Billy Joe[00:01:25]

Anyhow[00:01:30]

Seems like nothin' ever comes[00:01:34]

To no good up on Choctaw Ridge[00:01:36]

And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off[00:01:42]

The Tallahatchie Bridge[00:01:45]

And brother said he recollected when he[00:01:51]

And Tom and Billie Joe[00:01:53]

Put a frog down my back at the[00:01:58]

Carroll County picture show[00:02:01]

And wasn't I talkin' to him after[00:02:06]

Church last Sunday night[00:02:09]

I'll have another piece-a apple pie[00:02:14]

You know it don't seem right[00:02:18]

I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge[00:02:23]

And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off[00:02:31]

The Tallahatchie Bridge[00:02:34]

And mama said to me Child[00:02:39]

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

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

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

That nice young preacher Brother Taylor[00:02:56]

Dropped by today[00:02:58]

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

Oh by the way[00:03:07]

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

Like you up on Choctaw Ridge[00:03:14]

And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin'[00:03:19]

Off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:03:22]

A year has come and gone since we heard[00:03:28]

The news 'bout Billy Joe[00:03:31]

And brother married Becky Thompson[00:03:36]

They bought a store in Tupelo[00:03:38]

There was a virus going 'round papa caught it[00:03:44]

And he died last spring[00:03:47]

And now mama doesn't seem to want[00:03:52]

To do much of anything[00:03:55]

And me I spend a lot of time pickin'[00:04:01]

Flowers up on Choctaw Ridge[00:04:03]

And drop them into the muddy water off[00:04:08]

The Tallahatchie Bridge[00:04:11]
