Wow, John! I don't know how many times I've heard that song over the years... but, do you know, I've never listened
properly to it till now! Thank you for posting both the link
and the words; it made me really concentrate on the song when I watched the Youtube clip.
As Jim said, it's a brilliantly told story - and with such an intriguing ending. (And yes, Jim, Bobbie Gentry
is a very beautiful woman; nothing wrong with saying so, as far as I'm concerned
)
Thank you so much for posting this, John. I've watched a couple of versions of the song now, and keep thinking how simple - yet how good - it is.
