drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry.
Them good ol' boys was drinking whiskey and rye ...The Big Bopper flipped a coin with Waylon Jennings for the last empty seat on a small airplane. Jennings lost and Big Bopper died along with Buddy Holly and Richie Valens and the pilot when the plane crashed shortly after it took off. February 3, 1959, the day the music died, according to "American Pie" by Don McLean.Bopper's best-known song that he sang himself was "Chantilly Lace."Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.
