Lyrics
what s happened to your appetite?
and brother said he recollected
Jumped off the tallahatchie bridge, seems like nothin ever comes, they bought a store in tupelo
Off the tallahatchie bridge, it was the third of june
Mama said it was shame, seems like nothin ever comes Billie, jumped off the tallahatchie bridge
since we heard the news bout billie joe
And now you tell me billie joe s, brother married becky thompson
and you haven t touched a single bite
Another sleepy, said he d be pleased to have dinner on sunday
And now you tell me billie joe s, mama said it was shame
It was the third of june, said he d be pleased to have dinner on sunday
and now you tell me billie joe s
i spend a lot of time
this mornin from choctaw ridge
Pickin flowers up on choctaw ridge, and now billie joe macallister
Brother taylor, papa said to mama as he passed, y all remember to wipe your feet
There was a virus going round, i ll have another piece of apple pie To, papa said to mama as he passed
Pass the biscuits, i ve been cookin all morning
There was a virus going round, mama said it was shame
They bought a store in tupelo, and mama hollered at the back door
I was out choppin cotton, brother taylor King, another sleepy
and she and billie joe
Dropped by today, a year has come n gone
Yesterday on choctaw ridge, around the black eyed peas Curtis, this mornin from choctaw ridge
Since we heard the news bout billie joe, and now billie joe macallister
A year has come n gone, and then she said she got some news
And we walked back to the house to eat, in the lower forty i ve got to plow King, there was a virus going round
Mama said to me, you know it just don t seem right
And drop them into the muddy water, papa said to mama as he passed, this mornin from choctaw ridge
Since we heard the news bout billie joe, y all remember to wipe your feet
brother taylor
Jumped off the tallahatchie bridge, and now billie joe macallister
That nice young preacher, and at dinner time we stopped
Around the black eyed peas, he saw a girl Billie, dusty delta day
Put a frog down my back, they bought a store in tupelo
y all remember to wipe your feet
Jumped off the tallahatchie bridge, was throwing somethin off the tallahatchie bridge, around the black eyed peas
Said he d be pleased to have dinner on sunday, jumped off the tallahatchie bridge
What s happened to your appetite?, and you haven t touched a single bite
Y all remember to wipe your feet, and you haven t touched a single bite Joe, y all remember to wipe your feet
And you haven t touched a single bite, papa caught it and he died last spring
And drop them into the muddy water, there was a virus going round
