Some have gone even further and speculated that because the child was unwanted, it was aborted in some haphazard fashion, with the remains then quietly tossed off the bridge to hide the evidence.
I've heard some point to the relevance of the "child, what's happened to your appetite" line as a subtle key to this.
*** It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day.
I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay.
- Throwing something off the bridge with the narrator. Gentry's language and imagery is colorful and particular.The other theme is darker, and illustrates the indifference we often show towards the loss of human life.The narrator's family talks about a young man's suicide with striking nonchalance, perhaps best illustrated by the father's line, "well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense/ pass the biscuits, please." Aside from the narrator, no one seems to know or care much about Billy Joe.The song's lyrics are haunting and mysterious, recounting a Gothic tale of a young man's tragic suicide in the deep south. There does not appear to be any truth to the rumors that the song was trimmed for length, thus cutting vital lyrics.
The story told contains many noticeable omissions and gaps, however, leaving the listening with no shortage of irritating unanswered questions. A note on spelling: Gentry spells it "Billie Joe" on the album cover, but almost immediately after the song's release much of mainstream America began using the more conventional spelling "Billy Joe." I will use the latter spelling for simplicity's sake.Choctaw Ridge, Carroll County, Tupelo, and the Tallahatchie Bridge all exist in real life.
