I was 7 years old when this song came out. It was my favourite song back then, I sung it all the time. Just now found it, almost 50 years later!

we used to go see billy joe before he made bundachs (yes it is a french word used during the occupation). i was sitting in my sis and her husbands 62 bonneville. convertible with carol the first time they played it on radio. even tho he lived in woodlawn terrace a block away, he never came back to the bamboo ranch to sing. my sis still has his signed portrait i think. joe south is a great writer. thanks for the vid. only met bj once since the bamboo days. great showman.
