BILLY JOE-

Loading screenshot

It was the third of June,
another sleepy,
dusty Delta day

Loading screenshot

Iwas out choppin' cotton
and my brother
was bailin' hay

Loading screenshot

And at dinner time we stopped
and walked back
to the house to eat

Loading screenshot

And Mama hollered out
the back door
y'all remember
to wipe your feet

Loading screenshot

And then she said
I got some news this momin'
from Choctaw Ridge

Loading screenshot

Today Billy J 09 McAlester
jumped off the
Tallahatchee Bridge

Loading screenshot

And Papa said to Mama
as he passed around
the black-eyed peas

Loading screenshot

Well Billy J 00 never had a lick
of sense, pass
he biscuits, please

Loading screenshot

There's five more acres
in the lower forty
I've got to plough

Loading screenshot

And Mama said it was shame
about Billy Joe, anyhow

Loading screenshot

Seems like nothin'
ever comes to any good
up on Choctaw Ridge

Loading screenshot

And nonr Billy J oe McAllister's
jumped off the
Tallahatchee Bridge

Loading screenshot

And brother said he recollected
When he and Tom and Billie J oe

Loading screenshot

Put a frog down my back
at the Carroll County
picture show

Loading screenshot

And wasn't I talkin' to him
after church last Sunday night

Loading screenshot

I'll have another piece-a
apple pie,
you know it don't seem right

Loading screenshot

I saw him at the sawmill
yesterday on Choctaw Ridge

Loading screenshot

And now ya tell me
Billie Joe's jumped off
the Tallahatchee Bridge

Loading screenshot

And Mama said to me
Child, what's happened
to your appetite

Loading screenshot

I've been cookin' all morning
and you haven't touched
a single bite

Loading screenshot

That nice ymmg preacher,
Brother Taylor,
dropped by today

Loading screenshot

Said he'd be pleased
to have dinner on Sunday,
oh, by the way

Loading screenshot

He said he saw a girl
that looked a lot like you
up on Choctaw Ridge

Loading screenshot

And she and Billy J oe
was throwing somethin' off
the Tallahatchee Bridge

Loading screenshot

A year has come and gone
since we heard the news
'bout Billy Joe

Loading screenshot

And brother married
Becky Thompson,
they bought a store in Tupelo

Loading screenshot

There was a Virus going 'round,
Papa caught it and
he died last Spring

Loading screenshot

And nonr Mama doesn't seem
to wanna do much of anything

Loading screenshot

And me, I spend a lot of time
pickin' flowers
up on Choctaw Ridge

Loading screenshot

And drop them into
the muddy water
off the Tallahatchee Bridge
