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 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

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 saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge
and now you tell me Billy Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge."
And mama said to me, "Child what's happened to your appetite?

and she and Billy Joe was throwin' something off the Tallahatchee Bridge."
A year's come and gone since we heard the news ?bout Billy Joe.

And me, I spend a lotta time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge,
and drop 'em into the muddy water off the Tallahatchee bridge.
