Ode to Bilie Joe - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)

It was the third of June

Another sleepy dusty Delta day

I was out choppin' cotton

And my brother was balin' hay

And at dinner time we stopped and

Walked back to the house to eat

And mama hollered out the back door

Y'all remember to wipe your feet

And then she said

I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge

Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off

The Tallahatchie Bridge

And papa said to mama

As he passed around the blackeyed peas

Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense

Pass the biscuits please

There's five more acres in the lower forty

I've got to plow

And mama said it was shame about Billy Joe

Anyhow

Seems like nothin' ever comes

To no good up on Choctaw Ridge

And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off

The Tallahatchie Bridge

And 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-a apple pie

You know it don't seem right

I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge

And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off

The Tallahatchie Bridge

And mama said to me Child

What's happened to your appetite

I've been cookin' all morning

And you haven't touched a single bite

That nice young preacher Brother Taylor

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 up on Choctaw Ridge

And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin'

Off the Tallahatchie Bridge

A year has come and gone since we heard

The news 'bout Billy Joe

And brother married Becky Thompson

They bought a store in Tupelo

There was a virus going '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 spend a lot of time pickin'

Flowers up on Choctaw Ridge

And drop them into the muddy water off

The Tallahatchie Bridge
