Verse 1
D
It was the 3rd of June,
Am
another sleepy, dusty
D
Delta day I was out chopping, cutting
Am
D
and my brother was bathing hay
G
The end of dinnertime we stopped
Dm
G
and walked back to the house to eat
Dm
D
And mama hollered at the back door,
Am
D
you'll remember to wipe your feet
And then she said,
G
Dm
I got some news this morning
G
from Tuk Tuk Rides
D
Today Billy Joe McAllister
C
D
Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Papa said to Mama Izzy
Am
D
Passed around the black -eyed peas
Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense
Am
D
Pass the biscuits please
G
And there is five more acres
Dm
on the lower 40
G
I've got to plough
Dm
D
And Mama said it was a shame
Am
C
D
about Billy Joe when he hung
G
Seems that nothing ever
comes to no good
Dm
G
up in Choctaw Creeks
D
And now Billy Joe McAllister
C
D
dreamt of the Tallahatchie Bridge
Her brother said he recollected
Am
D
when he and Tom and Billy Joe
Put a frog down my back
Am
D
at the Carroll County Picture Show
G
And wasn't I talking to him
D
Dm
G
at the church last Sunday night?
D
I have another piece of apple pie,
Am
D
you know, it just don't seem right
G
Dm
I saw her at the sawmill yesterday,
G
on Choctaw Creeks
Dm
D
Now you tell me Billy Joes
C
D
jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Mama said to me, child,
Am
D
what's happened to your appetite?
I've been cooking all morning
Am
D
and you haven't touched a single bite
G
That nice young preacher,
Brother Taylor,
Dm
G
stopped by today
D
Said he'd be pleased to
have dinner on Sunday
Am
D
Oh, oh, by the way
G
He said he saw a girl
Dm
that looked a lot like you
G
Up on Choctaw Ridge
D
And she and Billy Joe were throwin'
C
D
something off the teller had she prayed
A year has come and gone
Am
D
since we heard the news about Billy Joe
Her brother married Mackie Thompson,
Am
D
they bought a store in Tupelo
G
There was a virus going round,
Dm
G
Papa caught it, and he died last spring
D
And now Mama doesn't seem to
Am
D
want to do much of anything
G
And me, I spend a lot of time
Dm
G
picking flowers up and check the grid
D
And drop them into the muddy water
C
D
off the tallow hat she brings
