"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" "And now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge" And Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?" "I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite" "That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today" "Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way" "He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge" "And she and Billie Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge" A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billie Joe And Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Louisiana Man, Ode To Billie Joe, Okolona River Bottom Band, Penduli Pendulum, Another Place, Another Time, Benjamin, Beverly, Billy The Kid, Bugs, Casket Vignette, Hurry, Tuesday Child, Hushabye Mountain, I Saw An Angel Die, Marigolds And Tangerines, Refractions, Hell Yeah, Pony, A Friend Like You, Best Days, Born To Be, Declaration, Desperate Men, Evidence Of God, EvolutionRedefined, Follow You, Foundations, Heart To God Hand To Man, Hey Jimmie, Home Run, I Found Love, If You Could See What I See, Im Free, In Chris Alone, Listen To Our Hearts, Mercy For The Memories, New Americans, No Need To Explain, Nothing To Hide, One Candle, Only A Fool, Out Here, Overflow, Red Moon, Running To You, Scattering, Tearin Down The Walls, Tell Me Again, The Fortunate Ones, The In Betweens, The Letter, Other Gentry Bobbie song Lyrics Ill Never Fall In Love Again Lyrics Ode To Billy Joe Lyrics Apartment 21 Lyrics Chickasaw County Child Lyrics Fancy Lyrics Ill Never Fall In Love Again Lyrics Mississippi Delta Lyrics Ode To Billy Joe Lyrics Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics All I Have To Do Is Dream Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Genuwine Lyrics Geoff Moore Lyrics Geoff Moore And The Distance Lyrics Geoff Tate Lyrics Geordie Lyrics Georg Baker Selection Lyrics Georg Danzer Lyrics George Lyrics George Baker Selection Lyrics George BensF/ Roberta Flack Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
