| [00:00.00] | 作词 : Gentry |
| [00:10.03] | It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day |
| [00:19.84] | I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay |
| [00:30.75] | And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat |
| [00:40.87] | And Mama hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet" |
| [00:50.93] | And then she said "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge" |
| [01:01.77] | "Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge" |
| [01:10.11] | |
| [01:12.70] | And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas |
| [01:22.31] | "Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please" |
| [01:31.25] | "There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow" |
| [01:40.93] | And Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow |
| [01:50.76] | Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge |
| [02:00.86] | And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge |
| [02:10.06] | |
| [02:11.38] | And Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe |
| [02:20.39] | Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show |
| [02:30.39] | And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night? |
| [02:40.24] | "I'll have another piece of apple pie, you know it don't seem right" |
| [02:50.84] | "I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge" |
| [03:00.27] | "And now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge" |
| [03:09.39] | |
| [03:10.28] | And Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?" |
| [03:19.75] | "I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite" |
| [03:29.69] | "That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today" |
| [03:38.81] | "Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way" |
| [03:49.13] | "He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge" |
| [03:58.15] | "And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge" |
| [04:07.94] | A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe |
| [04:08.33] | |
| [04:17.37] | And Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo |
| [04:26.79] | There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring |
| [04:36.68] | And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything |
| [04:46.57] | And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge |
| [04:54.02] | |
| [04:56.54] | And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge |
| [05:06.57] |
