Tonart: Db major
Verse 1
June, another sleepy, dusty, day
I was out chopping cotton and my
Bb
C
brother was baling hay
Bb
F
And at dinnertime we stopped and
walked back to the house to eat
C
And mama hollered at the back door,
y 'all remember the white dem daddy feeds
Bb
F
And then she said,
I got some news this mornin' from
Choctaw
Ridge
This mornin'
C
Billy
Joe
Bb
McAllister jumped off the
Tallahatchie
C
Bridge
Well,
Papa said to
Mama as he passed around
them black -eyed peas
That's soul food,
you know what I'm talkin' about
Said, old
Billy
Joe ain't never had liquor
since in his life
Woman, pass me them biscuits, please
Some more soul food
F
Said, of that's still five more
acres than the lower forty
Me and my mule has got to plow, yeah
And
C
Mama said it was a shame
About poor
Billy
Joe anyhow, yeah, yeah
F
She said, seems like nothing
ever comes of no good
To nothing on
Choctaw
Ridge, no
And now this
C
Billy
Joe
McAllister
Tallahatchie
C
Bridge
Oh, my brother recollected when he and
Tom and
Billy
Bb
C
Joe
Put a bullfrog down my back at that
Carroll
County picture show
F
And wasn't I talkin' to him
at the church just last
Sunday night, yeah
C
I'd have some more of that apple cobbler,
Bb
mama
C
You know it don't seem right
F
Saw him yesterday at the sawmill
Standing way up on
Chateau
Ridge
C
And now you're telling me
Billy's like a fool
Tallahatchie
C
Bridge
Oh, my mama said, son
What's happened to your appetite?
Said I've been standing over
this hot stove cooking
And you haven't touched
a single bite, no
F
She said that final daughter of
Brother
Taylor's
Dropped by the house today, yeah
C
Said she'd be pleased to have
dinner with us on
Sunday
Oh son, by the way,
F
she said she thinks she saw a boy who looks like you
Stand up on chartreuse, yeah
And he and
C
Billy
Joe was throwing something
Tallahatchie
C
Bridge
Woo -hoo -hoo -hoo
Well, years come and go since
we heard the news about
Billy
Joe
My brother got mad at
Becky
Thompson and they bought him a little
country store down in
Tupelo
F
There was a virus going around,
papa caught it and he died last spring
Sorry about that
C
Now mama sits around and doesn't
seem to want to do much of anything
F
Me, I spent a lot of time eatin' me a
cold watermelon on
Chattahoochee
C
And I spit the seeds into the muddy
Tallahatchie
C
Bridge
Benny
C
C
Joe, why did you do that?
Benny
