歌曲歌詞
It was the third of June
Another sleepy dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton
And my brother was balin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and
Walked back to the house to eat
And mama hollered out the back door
Y'all remember to wipe your feet
And then she said
I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge
Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off
The Tallahatchie Bridge
And papa said to mama
As he passed around the blackeyed peas
Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense
Pass the biscuits please
There's five more acres in the lower forty
I've got to plow
And mama said it was shame about Billy Joe
Anyhow
Seems like nothin' ever comes
To no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off
The Tallahatchie Bridge
And brother said he recollected when he
And Tom and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the
Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after
Church last Sunday night
I'll have another piece-a apple pie
You know it don't seem right
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge
And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off
The Tallahatchie Bridge
And mama said to me Child
What's happened to your appetite
I've been cookin' all morning
And you haven't touched a single bite
That nice young preacher Brother Taylor
Dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday
Oh by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot
Like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin'
Off the Tallahatchie Bridge
A year has come and gone since we heard
The news 'bout Billy Joe
And brother married Becky Thompson
They bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going 'round papa caught it
And he died last spring
And now mama doesn't seem to want
To do much of anything
And me I spend a lot of time pickin'
Flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off
The Tallahatchie Bridge
