[00:00:08] It was the third of June

[00:00:10] Another sleepy dusty Delta day

[00:00:16] I was out choppin' cotton

[00:00:18] And my brother was balin' hay

[00:00:24] And at dinner time we stopped

[00:00:26] And walked back to the house to eat

[00:00:32] And Mama hollered out the back

[00:00:34] Door "y'all remember to wipe your feet"

[00:00:40] And then she said "I got some news

[00:00:42] This mornin' from Choctaw Ridge"

[00:00:48] "Today Billy Joe

[00:00:49] MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

[00:00:57] 'N' Papa said to Mama as

[00:00:59] He passed around the blackeyed peas

[00:01:05] "Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense

[00:01:08] Pass the biscuits please"

[00:01:13] "There's five more acres

[00:01:15] In the lower forty I've got to plow"

[00:01:21] 'N' Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe anyhow

[00:01:29] Seems like nothin' ever

[00:01:30] Comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:01:37] And now Billy Joe MacAllister's

[00:01:40] Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[00:01:46] 'N' Brother said he recollected when

[00:01:48] He and Tom and Billie Joe

[00:01:54] Put a frog down my back

[00:01:56] At the Carroll County picture show

[00:02:01] And wasn't I talkin' to

[00:02:03] Him after church last Sunday night

[00:02:10] "I'll have another piece-a apple pie

[00:02:13] You know it don't seem right"

[00:02:18] "I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"

[00:02:26] "And now ya tell me

[00:02:27] Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

[00:02:35] 'N' Mama said to me "Child

[00:02:37] What's happened to your appetite "

[00:02:42] "I've been cookin' all morning and

[00:02:45] You haven't touched a single bite"

[00:02:51] "That nice young preacher

[00:02:53] Brother Taylor dropped by today"

[00:02:59] "Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday oh

[00:03:03] By the way"

[00:03:07] "He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like

[00:03:10] You up on Choctaw Ridge"

[00:03:15] "And she and Billy Joe was throwing

[00:03:17] Somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

[00:03:24] A year has come 'n' gone since

[00:03:26] We heard the news 'bout Billy Joe

[00:03:32] 'N' Brother married Becky Thompson

[00:03:34] They bought a store in Tupelo

[00:03:39] There was a virus going 'round

[00:03:42] Papa caught it and he died last Spring

[00:03:48] And now Mama doesn't seem to

[00:03:50] Wanna do much of anything

[00:03:56] And me I spend a lot of time

[00:03:58] Pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge

[00:04:04] And drop them into the muddy

[00:04:06] Water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
