ptimmerman@ifias.ca	Lyr Req: Ode to Billie Joe (Bobbie Gentry) (59* d)	RE: lyrics ? Jumped off a bridge	23 Apr 97
If I recall, the song more mysteriously says that someone saw someone who looked a lot like you, and she and Billie Joe were throwing something off the Tallahatchie Bridge. As a footnote, Peter Seeger once remarked that the Tallahatchie Bridge was less than a mile from where Emmet Till was killed. So Black people knew who had really been tossed off that bridge.
