| [00:08.750] | It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day |
| [00:17.500] | I was out choppin' cotton, and my brother was balin' hay |
| [00:25.000] | And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat |
| [00:33.250] | And mama hollered out the back door, "Y'all, remember to wipe your feet!" |
| [00:41.500] | And then she said, "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge" |
| [00:49.500] | "Today, Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge" |
| [00:58.250] | And papa said to mama, as he passed around the blackeyed peas, |
| [01:05.500] | "Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense; pass the biscuits, please" |
| [01:13.500] | "There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow" |
| [01:21.000] | And mama said, "It was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow" |
| [01:28.000] | "Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge" |
| [01:36.000] | "And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge" |
| [01:45.000] | And brother said he recollected when he, and Tom, and Billie Joe |
| [01:52.750] | Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show |
| [02:00.000] | "And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?" |
| [02:08.250] | "I'll have another piece-a apple pie; you know, it don't seem right" |
| [02:17.000] | "I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge" |
| [02:23.750] | "And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge" |
| [02:32.000] | And mama said to me, "Child, what's happened to your appetite?" |
| [02:39.500] | "I've been cookin' all morning, and you haven't touched a single bite" |
| [02:48.000] | "That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today" |
| [02:55.500] | "Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way" |
| [03:02.750] | "He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge" |
| [03:10.500] | "And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge" |
| [03:19.000] | A year has come and gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe |
| [03:26.750] | And brother married Becky Thompson; they bought a store in Tupelo |
| [03:34.000] | There was a virus going 'round; papa caught it, and he died last spring |
| [03:42.000] | And now mama doesn't seem to want to do much of anything |
| [03:50.750] | And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge |
| [03:58.000] | And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge |
