LINE:
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 want to 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
