Ode To Billy Joe

Paroles
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 we 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 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 McAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge 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 of apple pie, you know, it don't seem right I saw him at the sawmill yesterday up on Choctaw Ridge And now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge 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, looked a lot like you, up on Choctaw Ridge And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge
