Tallahatchie Bridge besides Billy Joe? I've heard that it was an aborted fetus, a sexually explicit note detailing a homosexual love affair, some incriminating evidence of a crime, etc. The narrator of the song just says it was "Something." I myself was led to believe that Billy Joe did not commit suicide but that the narrator actually pushed him off the bridge herself. There is no evidence for any of these things and I know it's open to interpretation so that's what I'm asking you all to do here. Interpret and tell me why you believe what you believe about this enigmatic song.
