Ode To Billy Joe - Graham Blvd.[00:00:00]

It was the 3rd of June, another[00:00:08]

Sleepy dusty Delta day.[00:00:10]

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

Brother was bailin' hay.[00:00:19]

And at dinner time we stopped and[00:00:24]

Walked back to the house to eat.[00:00:27]

And mama hollered out the backdoor,[00:00:33]

"Y'all remember to wipe your feet."[00:00:35]

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

This mornin' from Choctaw Ridge.[00:00:42]

Today Billy Joe Macallister's jumped[00:00:49]

Off the Tallahatchee Bridge. "[00:00:51]

Papa said to mama as he passed[00:00:58]

Around the blackeyed peas,[00:01:00]

"Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense;[00:01:06]

Pass the biscuits please.[00:01:09]

There's 5 more acres in the lower[00:01:14]

40 I got to plow. "[00:01:16]

And mama said it was a shame about[00:01:22]

Billy Joe anyhow.[00:01:24]

Seems like nothin' ever comes to no[00:01:30]

Good up on Choctaw Ridge,[00:01:32]

And now Billy Joe Macallister's[00:01:38]

Jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge.[00:01:40]

And brother said he recollected[00:01:46]

When he and Tom and Billy Joe[00:01:48]

Put a frog down my back at the[00:01:54]

Carroll County picture show.[00:01:57]

And wasn't I talkin' to him after[00:02:03]

Church last Sunday night?[00:02:05]

"I'll have another piece of apple pie;[00:02:11]

You know it don't seem right.[00:02:14]

I saw him at the sawmill yesterday[00:02:19]

On Choctaw Ridge[00:02:22]

And now you tell me Billy Joe's[00:02:27]

Jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge. "[00:02:29]

And mama said to me,[00:02:36]

"Child what's happened to your appetite?[00:02:37]

I been cookin' all morning and[00:02:43]

You haven't touched a single bite.[00:02:46]

That nice young preacher brother[00:02:52]

Taylor dropped by today,[00:02:54]

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

On Sunday; oh by the way,[00:03:01]

He said he saw a girl that looked a[00:03:08]

Lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge,[00:03:10]

And she and Billy Joe was throwin'[00:03:16]

Something off the Tallahatchee Bridge. "[00:03:18]

A year's come and gone since we[00:03:25]

Heard the news 'bout Billy Joe.[00:03:27]

'N brother married Becky Thompson[00:03:33]

'N' they bought a store in Tupelo.[00:03:35]

There was a virus goin' round, papa[00:03:41]

Caught it and he died last spring,[00:03:43]

And now mama doesn't seem to wanna[00:03:49]

Do much of anything.[00:03:51]

And me, I spend a lotta time pickin'[00:03:57]

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

And drop 'em into the muddy water[00:04:05]

Off the Tallahatchee bridge[00:04:08]
