  • It was the third of June another sleepy dusty Delta day
    I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was bailin' hay
    And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
    And mama hollered at the backdoor y'all remember to wipe your feet
    And then she said I got the news this mornin' from Choctaw Wridge
    Today Billie Joe Macallister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
    Papa said to mama as he passed around the black eyed peas
    Well Billie Joe never had a lick of sense pass the biscuits please
    There's five more acres in the lower forty I got to plow
    And mama said it was a shame about Billie Joe anyhow
    Seems like nothing ever comes to no good upon Choctaw Wridge
    And now Billie Joe Macallister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
    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 of apple pie you know it don't seem right
    I saw him at the sawmill yesterday upon Choctaw Wridge
    And now you tell me Billie Joe has jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
    Mama said to me child what's happened to your apetite
    Well I've been cookin' all mornin' and you haven't touched a single bite
    That nice young preacher brother Tailor 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 upon Choctaw Wridge
    She and Billie Joe was throwin' somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge
    One year has come and gone since we heard the news about Billie Joe
    Brother married Becky Thompson and they bought a store in Tupelo
    There was virus goin' 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 spent a lot of time pickin' flowers upon Chotaw Wridge
    And dropped 'em into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
