Ode To Billy Joe

Artist:Natalie Merchant 

  • ☆Bookmark this page




It was the 3rd of June, another sleepy dusty Delta day. I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was bailin' hay. And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat. And mama hollered out the backdoor, "Y'all remember to wipe your feet." And then she said, "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge. Today Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge." Papa said to mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas, "Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense; pass the biscuits please. There's 5 more acres in the lower 40 I got 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 MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge. And brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billy Joe put a frog down my back at the Carroll County 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
