[Verse 1]
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's
Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
[Verse 2]
And Papa said to Mama
As he passed around the black-eyed 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
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's
Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
[Verse 2]
And Papa said to Mama
As he passed around the black-eyed 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
