Since tomorrow is 'the third of June' I can't stop singing this haunting song in my head.
And as usual I'm wondering yet again what exactly WERE the couple throwing off the Tallahachie bridge?
And why DID Billy Joe commit suicide?
And why were the singer's parents so unmoved by the news?
Apparently, Bobbie Gentry couldn't enlighten people about the lyrics, so I wonder if anyone on Mudcat has any ideas about the story?
