Verse 1
Dm
G
F
G
and I was sleepy, dusty, dead today
I was out counting cotton
F
G
and my brother was bailing hay
C
At the dinner time we stopped
and walked back to the house to eat
G
And mama hollered at the vector,
you all remember to wipe your feet
And then she said,
C
I got some news this morning
from Charter Ridge
G
Today Billy Joel McAllister
F
G
jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Papa said to mama as he passed round
Dm
F
G
the black -eyed peas
Old Billy Joe never had a
F
G
pass the biscuits please
C
There's five more acres
G
C
in the lower forty I've got to plow
G
And mama said it was a shame
about Billy Joe anyhow
C
Seems like nothing ever comes to no good
up on Choctaw Ridge
G
An d now Billy Joe McAllister's
F
G
jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Brother said he recollected
Dm
G
C
F
G
when he and Tom and Billy joked
About a frog down my back
F
Dm
F
G
at the Carroll County Picture Show
C
And wasn't I talking to him
after church last Sunday night
G
I'll have another piece of apple pie,
you know, you don't seem right
C
I saw him at the sawmill
yesterday on Chalkham Ridge
G
And now you tell me Billy Jones
F
G
jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Mama said to me, child,
C
G
what's happened to your appetite?
Well, I've been cooking all morning
and you haven't touched a single bite
C
That nice, younger preacher
brother Taylor got by today
G
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner
on Sunday, oh by the way
that looked a lot like you
up on Choctaw Ridge
G
And she and Billy Joe was throwing
F
G
something off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Her year has come and gone
Dm
since we heard the news
Rather married back then so
Dm
G
Their bodies turned into a log
C
There was a virus going round
Papa caught it and he died last spring
G
And now mama doesn't seem to
want too much of anything
C
And me, spend a lot of time,
pick flowers up and chop the ridge
G
And drop them into the muddy water
F
G
of the Tallahatchie Bridge
