Ode To Billy Joe - The Sheltons[00:00:00]

It was the third of June [00:00:09]

Another sleepy dusty delta day[00:00:11]

I was out choppin' cotton[00:00:17]

And my brother was balin' hay[00:00:19]

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

And walked back to the house to eat[00:00:26]

And Mama hollered out the back door [00:00:32]

"Y'all remember to wipe your feet"[00:00:34]

Then she said [00:00:40]

"I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge[00:00:41]

Today Billie Joe McAllister[00:00:48]

Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"[00:00:50]

Papa said to Mama as he passed[00:00:56]

Around the black-eyed peas[00:00:59]

"Well Billie Joe never had a lick o' sense [00:01:04]

Pass the biscuits please[00:01:07]

There's five more acres[00:01:12]

In the lower forty I've got to plow"[00:01:13]

And Mama said it was a shame[00:01:19]

About Billie Joe anyhow[00:01:21]

Seems like nothin' ever comes to[00:01:27]

No good up on Choctaw Ridge[00:01:29]

And now Billie Joe McAllister's[00:01:35]

Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:01:37]

Brother said he recollected[00:01:43]

When he and Tom and Billie Joe[00:01:44]

Put a frog down my back[00:01:51]

At the Carroll County picture show[00:01:52]

And wasn't I talkin' to him[00:01:59]

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

I'll have another piece of apple pie [00:02:06]

You know it don't seem right[00:02:09]

I saw him at the sawmill[00:02:14]

Yesterday on Choctaw Ridge[00:02:16]

And now you tell me Billie Joe's[00:02:21]

Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:02:23]

Mama said to me [00:02:30]

"Child what's happened to your appetite [00:02:31]

I been cookin' all mornin'[00:02:37]

And you haven't touched single bite[00:02:40]

That nice young preacher[00:02:46]

Brother Taylor dropped by today[00:02:47]

Said he'd be pleased to have dinner[00:02:53]

On Sunday oh by the way[00:02:55]

He said he saw a girl[00:03:01]

That looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge[00:03:03]

And she and Billie Joe was throwin'[00:03:09]

Somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"[00:03:11]

A year has come and gone[00:03:17]

Since I heard the news 'bout Billie Joe[00:03:18]

Brother married Becky Thompson [00:03:25]

They bought a store in Tupelo[00:03:26]

There was a virus goin' round [00:03:32]

Papa caught it and he died last spring[00:03:34]

And now Mama doesn't seem[00:03:40]

To want to do much of anything[00:03:42]

And me I spend a lot of time[00:03:48]

Picking flowers up on Choctaw Ridge[00:03:50]

And drop them into the muddy water[00:03:56]

Off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:03:58]
