Transpozícia: [+1 +2 -1 -2] |
It was the tF7hird of June, Another sCm7leepy, dusty, delta F7day
I was out choppin' cotton and my bCm7rother was bailin' F7hay
And at dBb7inner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And Mama hF7ollered at the back door,"Y'all reCm7member to wipe your F7feet."
Then she saiBb7d,"I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge
Today BF7illy Joe McAllister jumped Eb7off the Tallahatchee FBridge."
Papa said to Mama, as he passed around the black-eyed peas
"Well, Billy Joe never had a lick o'sense, pass the biscuits please
There's five more acres in the lower forty I've go to plow."
And Mama said it was a shame about Billy Joe anyhow
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billy Joe McAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge.
Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billy Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carrol Country 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 Billy Joe jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge.
Mama said to me, "Child, what's happened to your appetite?
I been cookin' all mornin' and you haven't touched a 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 an' Billy Joe was throwin' somethin' off the Tallahatchee Bridge."
A year has come and gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus goin' 'round, Papa caught it and died last spring
And now Mama doesn't seem to want to do much of anything
And me I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchee Bridge.
