And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat

The new book of country singles
HEARTACHES BY THE NUMBER
talkes about the intro to this song sounding like a scab being picked off.

Grampa yawned, his teeth fell out, and Mammie stepped on his bridge.

They found Fido frozen in the fridge.

Fellow steeler, the late Jim Roby from MS, did a great job playing this tune as a steel instrumental...

...and Papa said it was a shame about Billy Joe anyhow....seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge....and now you tell me Billy Joe has jumped off the TallahatchIe bridge...

....I LOVE THIS SONG! One of the alltime greats!....[This message was edited by Pat Burns on 04 June 2003 at 03:34 PM.]

No disrespect here, but in two different post above, I saw Tallahatchie misspelled. Since I live in Tallahatchie County MS I thought I would clear that up. Thanks.

ps - the Tallahatchie river has had many things thrown into it over the years, no telling what or who you might find down there.
