Current song lyrics
It was the third of June another sleepy dusty Delta day<br />I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was bailin' hay<br />And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat<br />And mama hollered at the backdoor you all remember to wipe your feet<br />And then she said I got some news this morning from Choctaw Wridge<br />Today Billie Joe Macallister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge<br />Papa said to mama as he passed around the black eyed peas<br />Billie Joe never had a lick of sense pass the biscuits please<br />There's five more acres in the lower forty I got to plow<br />And mama said it was a shame about Billie Joe anyhow<br />Seems like nothing ever comes to no good upon Choctaw Wridge<br />Now Billie Joe Macallister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge<br />Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe<br />Put a frog down my back at the Caroll County picture show<br />And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night<br />I'll have another piece of apple pie you know it just don't seem right<br />I saw him at sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Wridge<br />Now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge<br />Mama said to me child what's happened to your apetite<br />I've been cooking all morning and you haven't touched a single bite<br />And nice young preacher brother Tailor dropped by today<br />Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday oh by the way<br />Said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you upon Choctaw Wridge<br />She and Billie Joe was throwin' something off the Tallahatchie Bridge<br />Year's come and gone since we heard the news about Billie Joe<br />Brother married Becky Thompson and they bought a store in Tupelo<br />There was a virus goin' round papa caught it and he died last spring<br />Now mama doesn't seem to want to do much of anything<br />And me I spent a lot of time pickin' flowers upon Chotaw Wridge<br />And dropped 'em into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
