*Ø* Blogmanac | June 3 | What did Billy Joe throw off the Tallahatchee Bridge?
It was the third of June,
Another sleepy, dusty Delta day;
I was out choppin' cotton,
And my brothers were bailin' hay.
Bobby Gentry, Ode to Billie Joe
Louisiana, USA, year unknown: Today is the day that the parents of Billie Joe McAllister’s girlfriend made some insinuations about what their daughter had been doing recently with Billie Joe at the Tallahatchee Bridge. It’s a mystery. Each year the question comes up in my mind, and I ask my friends: What do you think Billy Joe and his girl threw off the bridge?
