3. I was out chopping cotton and my brother was baling hay.

And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat.
And Mama hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet,"
And then she said "I got some news this morning from Choctaw Ridge,"
"Today, Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge."

9. I've been to the Tallahatchie bridge

Mississippi delta, muddy slow-moving river, and all that

4. Actually, it was the third of September

A day I'll always remember
Cuz that was the day
My daddy died
Never got a chance to see him
Never heard nothin? but bad things about him
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
And Mama just hung her head and said, Son
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All he left us was alone

5. Actually, I'm waiting for...

... the night of the 6th of June.

6. Oscar Wilde?

Nice. We were just discussing birthdays; mine's the same as his and I couldn't have chosen someone I'd be happier to share one with.

[Shipwack]

8. Yep, the sig line is Oscar Wilde...

I've just realized that I don't have the attribution...
