Billy Joe confesses his love to the lovely Bobbi Lee only to cover his growing fear that he may, in fact, be homosexual. One night, at a barn dance, he gets a little drunk and rather than going with the hired whores, gives into his desires and sexual relations with an unnamed man. The guilt causes him to run away, hide in the woods and eventually confess everything to Bobbi Lee who doesn't want to believe him only because she was enjoying the forbidden nature of their love. In the end, he cannot accept his sexuality nor can he hide behind Bobbi Lee and that's why he throws himself off the Tallahachee bridge. 译文(2): Billy Joe 向可爱的 Bobbi Lee 表白只是为了掩饰他越来越害怕自己可能是同性恋的事实。一天晚上，在一个谷仓舞会上，他有点喝醉了，他没有和那些妓女一起去，而是向一个不知名的男人表达了他的欲望和性关系。罪恶感使他逃跑，躲在树林里，最终向 Bobbi Lee 坦白了一切。 Bobbi Lee 不愿意相信他，仅仅因为她享受着他们爱情的禁忌本质。最后，他无法接受自己的性取向，也无法躲在 Bobbi Lee 身后，这就是为什么他从 Tallahachee 桥上跳下去的原因。
