 F7 
It was the t hird of June,  
 Cm7 F7 
Another s leepy, dusty,    
 F7 
I was  out choppin' cotton  
 Cm7 F7 
And my b rother was bailin' hay   
 Bb7 
And at d inner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat  
 F7 
And Mama h ollered at the back door,  
 Cm7 F7 
"Y'all re member to wipe your feet."   
 Bb7 
Then she sai d,  
 
"I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge  
 F7 
Today B illy Joe McAllister  
 Eb7 F 
Jumped  off the Tallahatchee Bridge ."
