Verse 1
D9
It was the third of June,
Am7
D9
another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton,
Am7
D9
and my brother was balin' hay
G7
And at dinner time we stopped
and walked back to the house to eat
D9
And Mama hollered out the back door,
"Y'all, remember to wipe your feet!"
"I got some news this mornin'
from Choctaw Ridge
D9
Today, Billie Joe MacAllister
C7
D9
jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
Verse 2
D9
And Papa said to Mama,
Am7
D9
as he passed around the black-eyed peas
"Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense;
Am7
D9
pass the biscuits, please
G7
There's five more acres in the lower forty
I got to plow"
it was a shame about Billie Joe, anyhow
G7
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good
up on Choctaw Ridge
D9
And now Billie Joe MacAllister's
C7
D9
jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Verse 3
D9
And brother said he recollected
Am7
D9
when he, and Tom, and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back
Am7
D9
at the Carroll County picture show
G7
And wasn't I talkin' to him
after church last Sunday night?
D9
"I'll have another piece-a apple pie;
you know, it don't seem right
G7
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday
on Choctaw Ridge
D9
And now you tell me Billie Joe's
C7
D9
jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
Verse 4
Am7
D9
"Child, what's happened to your appetite?
I've been cookin' all mornin',
Am7
D9
and you haven't touched a single bite
G7
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor,
dropped by today
to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way
G7
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you
up on Choctaw Ridge
D9
And she and Billie Joe was throwin' somethin'
C7
D9
off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
Verse 5
D9
A year has come and gone
Am7
D9
since we heard the news 'bout Billie Joe
And brother married Becky Thompson;
Am7
D9
they bought a store in Tupelo
G7
There was a virus goin' 'round;
Papa caught it, and he died last spring
D9
And now Mama doesn't seem to want to do
much of anything
G7
And me, I spend a lot of time
pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
D9
And drop them into the muddy water
C7
D9
off the Tallahatchie Bridge
