Verse 1
D
It was the third of June,
Am
D
another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton,
Am
D
and my brother was balin' hay
G
And at dinner time we stopped
and walked back to the house to eat
D
And Mama hollered out the back door,
"Y'all, remember to wipe your feet!"
G
And then she said,
"I got some news this mornin'
from Choctaw Ridge
D
Today, Billie Joe MacAllister
C
D
jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
Verse 2
D
And Papa said to Mama,
Am
D
as he passed around the black-eyed peas
"Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense;
Am
D
pass the biscuits, please
G
There's five more acres in the lower forty
I got to plow"
it was a shame about Billie Joe, anyhow
G
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good
up on Choctaw Ridge
D
And now Billie Joe MacAllister's
C
D
jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Verse 3
D
And brother said he recollected
Am
D
when he, and Tom, and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back
Am
D
at the Carroll County picture show
G
And wasn't I talkin' to him
after church last Sunday night?
D
"I'll have another piece-a apple pie;
you know, it don't seem right
G
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday
on Choctaw Ridge
D
And now you tell me Billie Joe's
C
D
jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
Verse 4
D
Mama said to me,
Am
D
"Child, what's happened to your appetite?
I've been cookin' all mornin',
Am
D
and you haven't touched a single bite
G
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor,
dropped by today
D
Said he'd be pleased
to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way
G
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you
up on Choctaw Ridge
D
And she and Billie Joe was throwin' somethin'
C
D
off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
Verse 5
D
A year has come and gone
Am
D
since we heard the news 'bout Billie Joe
And brother married Becky Thompson;
Am
D
they bought a store in Tupelo
G
There was a virus goin' 'round;
Papa caught it, and he died last spring
D
And now Mama doesn't seem to want to do
much of anything
G
And me, I spend a lot of time
pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
D
And drop them into the muddy water
C
D
off the Tallahatchie Bridge
