Tonalité : D major
Verse 1
D
It was the 3rd of June,
another sleepy dusty
Delta day I was out chopping cotton
Am
D
and my brother was baling hay
G
And at dinnertime we stopped
and walked back to the house to eat
D
And mama hollered at the back door,
y 'all remember to wipe your feet
And then she said,
G
I got some news this morning
from Choctaw Ridge
D
Today, Billy Joe McAllister
C
D
jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Papa said to Mama
Am
as he passed around the
D
black -eyed peas
Well, Billy Joe never had liquor since
Am
D
Pass the biscuits, please
G
There's five more acres in the lower 40
I've got to plow
D
Mama said it was a shame
about Billy Joe anyhow
G
Seems like nothing ever comes to no good
up on Choctaw Ridge
D
And now Billy Joe McAllister's
C
D
jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Brother said he recollected
when he and Tom and Billy Joe
Put a frog down my back
at the Carroll County Picture Show
G
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church
last Sunday night
D
I'll have another piece of apple pie,
you know it don't seem right
G
I saw him at the sawmill
yesterday on Choctaw Ridge
D
And now you tell me Billy Joes
C
D
jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Mama said to me, child,
Am
what's happened to your appetite?
D
I've been cookin' all mornin'
Am
D
and you haven't touched a single bite
G
That nice young preacher
brother Taylor
dropped by today
D
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner
on Sunday, oh by the way
G
He said he saw a girl
that looked a lot like you
up on Choctaw Ridge
D
And she and Billy Joe
was throwin' somethin'
C
D
off the Tallahatchie Bridge
A year has come and gone
since we heard the news
about Billy Joe
Brother married Becky Thompson,
they bought a store in Tupelo
G
There was a virus going round,
Papa caught it and he died last spring
D
And now Mama doesn't seem to
want to do much of anything
G
And may I spend a lot of time
pickin' flowers
up on Choctaw Ridge
D
And drop them into the muddy water
C
D
off the Tallahatchie Bridge
