Bobbie Gentry Ode to Billie Joe country
Digitized from the 45 rpm disc shown in the video above. Lyrics It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day I was out choppin cotton and my brother was balin hay And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat And Mama hollered out the back door y all remember to wipe your feet And then she said I got some news this mornin from Choctaw Ridge Today Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas
