| [00:11.073] | Was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day |
| [00:23.558] | I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay |
| [00:34.722] | And at dinnertime we stopped and walked back to the house to eat |
| [00:46.409] | And Mama hollered out the back door y'all remember to wipe your feet |
| [00:57.824] | And then she said I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge |
| [01:09.251] | Today Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge |
| [01:21.202] | And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas |
| [01:31.297] | Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits please |
| [01:43.517] | There's five more acres in the lower forty I got to plow |
| [01:54.410] | And Mama said it was shame about Billie Joe, anyhow |
| [02:05.562] | Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge |
| [02:16.977] | And now Billie Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge |
| [02:29.202] | Mama said to me, Child, what's happened to your appetite? |
| [02:39.297] | I've been cookin' all mornin' and you haven't touched a single bite |
| [02:50.984] | That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today |
| [03:01.612] | Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way |
| [03:12.765] | He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge |
| [03:24.191] | And she and Billie Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge |
| [04:09.338] | A year has come and gone since we heard the news 'bout Billie Joe |
| [04:20.503] | And brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo |
| [04:30.594] | There was a virus goin' 'round, Papa caught it and he died last spring |
| [04:41.487] | And now mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything |
| [04:52.902] | And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge |
| [05:04.067] | And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge |
