Ode To Billie Joe - Diana Ross & The Supremes[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[00:00:18]

And my brother was balin' hay[00:00:20]

And at dinner time we stopped[00:00:28]

And we walked back to the house to eat[00:00:30]

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

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

And then she said she got some news[00:00:46]

This mornin' from Choctaw Ridge[00:00:48]

Today Billie Joe MacAllister[00:00:55]

Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:00:58]

Papa said to mama as he passed[00:01:05]

Around the blackeyed peas[00:01:08]

"Well Billie Joe never had a lick of sense [00:01:14]

Pass the biscuits please"[00:01:17]

"There's five more acres in the lower forty[00:01:23]

I've got to plow"[00:01:27]

Mama said it was shame[00:01:32]

About Billie Joe anyhow[00:01:34]

Seems like nothin' ever comes[00:01:41]

To no good up on Choctaw Ridge[00:01:43]

And now Billie Joe MacAllister[00:01:50]

Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:01:53]

Brother said he recollected[00:02:00]

When he and Tom and Billie Joe[00:02:02]

Put a frog down my back at[00:02:09]

The Carroll County picture show[00:02:12]

And wasn't I talkin' to him after[00:02:19]

Church last Sunday night [00:02:21]

"I'll have another piece of apple pie [00:02:28]

You know it just don't seem right"[00:02:31]

"I saw him at the sawmill[00:02:37]

Yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"[00:02:39]

"And now you tell me Billie Joe's[00:02:46]

Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"[00:02:48]

Mama said to me "Child [00:02:56]

What's happened to your appetite "[00:02:58]

"I've been cookin' all morning[00:03:05]

And you haven't touched a single bite"[00:03:07]

"That nice young preacher [00:03:14]

Brother Taylor dropped by today"[00:03:16]

"Said he'd be pleased to have dinner[00:03:23]

On Sunday oh by the way"[00:03:25]

"He said he saw a girl that looked a lot[00:03:33]

Like you up on Choctaw Ridge"[00:03:35]

"And she and Billie Joe[00:03:42]

Was throwing somethin' off[00:03:43]

The Tallahatchie Bridge"[00:03:45]

A year has come 'n' gone since[00:03:51]

We heard the news 'bout Billie Joe[00:03:53]

Brother married Becky Thompson [00:04:01]

They bought a store in Tupelo[00:04:02]

There was a virus going 'round [00:04:09]

Papa caught it and he died last Spring[00:04:11]

And now mama doesn't seem[00:04:19]

To want to do much of anything[00:04:21]

And me I spend a lot of[00:04:28]

Time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge[00:04:30]

And drop them into the muddy[00:04:38]

Water off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:04:39]
