Ode To Billie Joe(Album Version) - Molly Johnson[00:00:01]

It was the third of June[00:00:08]

Another sleepy dusty Delta day[00:00:10]

I was out chopping cotton[00:00:16]

And my brother was baling hay[00:00:18]

At dinner time we stopped[00:00:25]

And walked back to the house to eat[00:00:27]

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

"you all remember to wipe your feet"[00:00:35]

And then she said[00:00:40]

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

"Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"[00:00:47]

And Papa said to Mama[00:00:57]

As he passed around the blackeyed peas[00:00:59]

"Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense[00:01:04]

Pass the biscuits please"[00:01:07]

"There's five more acres in the lower forty[00:01:11]

Got to plow"[00:01:15]

And Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe anyhow[00:01:19]

Seems like nothing ever comes to no good[00:01:27]

Up on Choctaw Ridge[00:01:30]

And now Billy Joe MacAllister[00:01:35]

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

And Brother said he recollected[00:01:43]

When he and Tom and Billie Joe[00:01:46]

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

At the Carroll County picture show[00:01:53]

And wasn't I talking to him after Church[00:01:58]

Last Sunday night [00:02:02]

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

You know it don't seem right"[00:02:10]

"I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"[00:02:15]

"And now you tell me Billie Joe's[00:02:22]

Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"[00:02:24]

And Mama said to me[00:02:31]

"Child what's happened to your appetite "[00:02:32]

"I've been cooking all morning[00:02:38]

You haven't touched a single bite"[00:02:41]

"Nice young preacher Brother Taylor[00:02:47]

Dropped by today"[00:02:49]

"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 that looked a lot like you[00:03:01]

Up on Choctaw Ridge"[00:03:05]

"And she and Billy Joe were throwing something[00:03:10]

Off the Tallahatchie Bridge"[00:03:12]

A year has come and gone since[00:04:04]

We heard the news about Billy Joe[00:04:06]

And Brother married Becky Thompson[00:04:12]

Bought a store in Tupelo[00:04:14]

There was a virus going around[00:04:19]

Papa caught it died last Spring[00:04:21]

And now Mama doesn't seem to[00:04:27]

Wanna do much of anything[00:04:29]

And me I spend a lot of time picking flowers[00:04:35]

Up on Choctaw Ridge[00:04:39]

And drop them in the muddy water[00:04:43]

Off the Tallahatchie Bridge Yeah [00:04:45]

Ooh the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:04:50]

Oh Muddy Muddy Muddy Water[00:04:54]

Off the Tallahatchie Bridge[00:04:57]

Sleepy Dusty Delta Day[00:05:03]

Tallahatchie Bridge[00:05:14]
