It was the third of June another[00:00:00]
Sleepy dusty Delta day[00:00:03]
I was out choppin' cotton and[00:00:09]
My brother was bailin' hay[00:00:11]
And at dinner time we stopped[00:00:17]
And walked back to the house to eat[00:00:19]
And mama hollered at the backdoor[00:00:25]
Y'all remember to wipe your feet[00:00:28]
And then she said I got the news[00:00:33]
This mornin' from Choctaw Wridge[00:00:36]
Today Billie Joe Macallister's[00:00:42]
Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:00:44]
Papa said to mama as he passed[00:00:51]
Around the black eyed peas[00:00:54]
Well Billie Joe never had a lick[00:00:59]
Of sense pass the biscuits please[00:01:01]
There's five more acres in the[00:01:07]
Lower forty I got to plow[00:01:10]
And mama said it was a shame[00:01:15]
About Billie Joe anyhow[00:01:18]
Seems like nothing ever comes[00:01:24]
To no good upon Choctaw Wridge[00:01:26]
And now Billie Joe Macallister's[00:01:32]
Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:01:35]
Brother said he recollected when[00:01:42]
He and Tom and Billie Joe[00:01:44]
Put a frog down my back at the[00:01:49]
Carroll County picture show[00:01:52]
And wasn't I talkin' to him[00:01:58]
After church last Sunday night[00:02:00]
I'll have another piece of[00:02:06]
Apple pie you know it don't seem right[00:02:08]
I saw him at the sawmill[00:02:15]
Yesterday upon Choctaw Wridge[00:02:17]
And now you tell me Billie[00:02:23]
Joe has jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:02:25]
Mama said to me child what's[00:02:33]
Happened to your apetite[00:02:35]
Well I've been cookin' all mornin'[00:02:40]
And you haven't touched a single bite[00:02:43]
That nice young preacher brother[00:02:49]
Tailor dropped by today[00:02:52]
Said he'd be pleased to have[00:02:57]
Dinner on Sunday oh by the way[00:02:59]
He said he saw a girl that looked[00:03:05]
A lot like you upon Choctaw Wridge[00:03:08]
She and Billie Joe was throwin'[00:03:14]
Somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:03:16]
One year has come and gone since[00:03:23]
We heard the news about Billie Joe[00:03:25]
Brother married Becky Thompson and[00:03:31]
They bought a store in Tupelo[00:03:34]
There was virus goin' round papa[00:03:39]
Caught it and he died last spring[00:03:42]
And now mama doesn't seem[00:03:47]
To want to do much of anything[00:03:49]
And me I spent a lot of time pickin'[00:03:56]
Flowers upon Chotaw Wridge[00:03:59]
And dropped 'em into the muddy water[00:04:04]
Off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:04:07]
