It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day...

[Roar More]

Little known original first verse:

Sally Jane Ellison's been missing since the first week in June.
People don't see Sally Jane in town any more.
There's a lot o' speculatin', she's not actin' like she did before.
Some say she knows more than she's willin' to tell.
But she stays quiet and a few think it's just as well.
No one really knows what went on up on Choctaw Ridge
the day that Billy Jo McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge.
The first line was crossed out.

What was thrown off the Tallahatchie Bridge?

Discuss among yourselves.

I always thought it was an aborted baby.

I've heard that verse recently and I agree with Ro that it was a baby....
