[00:00:02] Written by：Bobbie Gentry

[00:00:08] It was the third of june another sleepy dusty delta

[00:00:12] Day

[00:00:16] I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin'

[00:00:21] Hay

[00:00:24] And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to

[00:00:27] The house to eat

[00:00:32] And mama hollered out the back door y'all remember to

[00:00:36] Wipe your feet

[00:00:40] And then she said I got some news this mornin'

[00:00:43] From choctaw ridge

[00:00:48] Today billy joe macallister jumped off the tallahatchie bridge

[00:00:57] And papa said to mama as he passed around the

[00:01:00] Blackeyed peas

[00:01:04] Well billy joe never had a lick of sense pass

[00:01:08] The biscuits please

[00:01:12] There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got

[00:01:16] To plow

[00:01:20] And mama said it was a shame about billy joe anyhow

[00:01:28] Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on

[00:01:31] Choctaw ridge

[00:01:36] And now billy joe macallister's jumped off the tallahatchie bridge

[00:01:44] And brother said he recollected when he and Tom and

[00:01:47] Billie joe

[00:01:52] Put a frog down my back at the carroll County

[00:01:55] Picture show

[00:01:59] And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last sunday

[00:02:04] Night

[00:02:07] I'll have another piece a apple pie you know it

[00:02:11] Don't seem right

[00:02:15] I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on choctaw ridge

[00:02:23] And now ya tell me Billie joe's jumped off the

[00:02:26] Tallahatchie bridge

[00:02:31] And mama said to me child what's happened to your

[00:02:34] Appetite

[00:02:39] I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a

[00:02:42] Single bite

[00:02:47] That nice young preacher brother taylor dropped by today

[00:02:55] Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on sunday oh

[00:02:58] By the way

[00:03:03] He said he saw a girl that looked a lot

[00:03:05] Like you up on choctaw ridge

[00:03:10] And she and Billy joe was throwing somethin' off the

[00:03:13] Tallahatchie bridge

[00:03:19] A year has come and gone since we heard the

[00:03:21] News 'bout billy joe

[00:03:27] And brother married becky thompson they bought a store in

[00:03:30] Tupelo

[00:03:34] There was a virus going 'round papa caught it and

[00:03:37] He died last spring

[00:03:42] And now mama doesn't seem to want to do much

[00:03:45] Of anything

[00:03:50] And me I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers

[00:03:52] Up on choctaw ridge

[00:03:57] And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie

[00:04:01] Bridge
