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 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 Billie Joe McAllister jumped off the T*****atchie Bridge"
Papa said to Mama
As he passed around the black-eyed peas
"Well Billie Joe never had a lick o' sense
Pass the biscuits please
There's five more acres in the lower forty
I've got to plow"
And Mama said it was a shame about
Billie Joe anyhow
Seems like nothin' ever comes to
No good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billie Joe McAllister's
Jumped off the T*****atchie 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 on Choctaw Ridge
And now you tell me
Billie Joe's jumped off the T*****atchie Bridge
Mama said to me
"Child what's happened to your appetite
I been cookin' all mornin'
And you haven't touched 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
That looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billie Joe was throwin'
Somethin' off the T*****atchie Bridge"
A year has come and gone since
I heard the news 'bout Billie Joe
And brother married Becky Thompson
They bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus goin' round
Papa caught it and he died last spring
And now Mama doesn't seem to
Want to do much of anything
And me I spend a lot of time picking
Flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy
Water off the T*****atchie Bridge
