Ode To Billie Joe

**Chords:**
       Am  G  F  C
       Am  G  F  C

      Am          G
It was the third of June,
         F            C
Another sleepy, dusty Delta day.
      Am          G
I was out choppin' cotton,
        F               C
And my brother was balin' hay.
          Am          G
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back
       F             C
To the house to eat.
        Am           G
And Mama hollered out the back door,
         F                C
"Y'all remember to wipe your feet!"
       Am           G
And then she said, "I got some news this mornin'
       F             C
From Choctaw Ridge.
      Am        G
Today Billie Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge."
