What did Billie Joe and the narrator throw off the Tallahatchee Bridge?

Why was she so tight-lipped at the dinner table?

A big bag of shite. It was a weird story.

Either the aborted baby or evidence of butt sex with Roscoe P Coltrane.

Bigger question: how did he die? It’s like a 20 foot fall…maybe less.

It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton, and my brother was balin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And mama hollered out the back door, y'all, remember to wipe your feet
And then she said, I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge
Today, Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And papa said to mama, as he passed around the blackeyed peas
Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense; pass the biscuits, please
There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow
And mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And brother said he recollected when he, and Tom, and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?
I'll have another piece-a apple pie; you know, it don't seem right
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge
And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And mama said to me, child, what's happened to your appetite?
I've been cookin' all morning, and you haven't touched a single bite
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge
A year has come and gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
And brother married Becky Thompson; they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going 'round; papa caught it, and he died last spring
And now mama doesn't seem to want to do much of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

For the .0001% who know how high the bridge is, you're supposed to suspend your disbelief

20 feet can easily kill a man, especially when he’s pushed
Do y’all not get it?
The woman pushed Billy Joe off the bridge for getting her pregnant and making her get an abortion

I actually think the father’s cruelty and disapproval even in death in the song (“he never had a lick of sense”) is a key clue.
The father found out about the pregnancy, forced them to get an abortion, forced them to toss the baby over the bridge, then killed Billie Joe for what he did to his daughter.

Hmmmmm
I may rethink my hypothesis

Yeah I’d have given her a baby to throw off the bridge too

Okay, chew on this one:
The baby was a result of father-daughter incest. This would explain how no one would have noticed the narrator showing. They did notice. Papa ignored it and mama was in denial.
The narrator gave birth to a live baby, but the father made her toss it. The narrator recruited Billie Joe to help with the grisly task.
Now that Billie Joe knew, he had to die. Papa was tying up loose ends.

Explain the butt sex with Roscoe P Coltrane at the drunken barn dance.
Posted on 10/30/21 at 12:14 am to UndercoverBryologist
Okay I was on board with the vengeful father killing billy joe but you went too far.
Now I’m going back to she killed him
