Ode To Billie Joe - Leslie Satcher[00:05:04]

It was the third of June another sleepy dusty Delta day[00:05:04]

I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was a bailin' hay[00:05:04]

And at dinner time we stopped and walked out to the house to eat[00:05:04]

And mama hollered of the back door, "Y'all remember to wipe your feet"[00:05:04]

Then she said, "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge[00:05:04]

Today Billie Joe Macallister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"[00:05:04]

Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas[00:05:04]

"Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please[00:05:04]

There's five more acres in the lower forty that I've got to plow"[00:05:04]

And Mama said, "It was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow[00:05:04]

Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge[00:05:04]

And now Billy Joe Mac Allister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"[00:05:04]

Mama said to me, "Child, what's happened to your appetite?[00:05:04]

I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite[00:05:04]

That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today"[00:05:04]

Said, he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way[00:05:04]

He said, he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge[00:05:04]

And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:05:04]

A year has come and gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe[00:05:04]

Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo[00:05:04]

There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last spring[00:05:04]

Now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything[00:05:04]

And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge[00:05:04]

And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:05:04]
