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 always took it as Billy Joe jumping off the bridge out of guilt over what he’d done.
Your theory makes sense too, though.

An aborted fetus.
Similar to the girl in “She’s Leaving Home” by The Beatles:
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade
The girl was leaving home to get a surreptitious abortion.

The bigger mystery is where is Bobbie Gentry?
She spent several of formative years in Greenwood, MS, where many of her cousin still live. After she made enough money, she "went dark in the early 80s. It is speculated she lives near Memphis, although her privacy is closely guarded.

You know in the movie Billy Joe jumped off the bridge cuz he was gay.
So you’re saying he had a sense of lick instead of a lick of sense?

I always thought it was a croaker sack full of mix-bred puppies.

Papa did not die from the virus. It's a cover story.
Viruses didn't kill otherwise healthy men back then.

Pic from 2014 when she was 72, damned if she wasn't still a looker. Of course I'll be 60 in a few months

Wish she would have written a song about those years.
