Sure, it is changed a lot. Most songs are. However, it was originally sung by Bobbie Gentry, one of the first country women. You can change it all you want, it is still country.

"Billy Joe McAlister jumped off the Tallahassee bridge", that song is pretty cool, one of those surprise MP3's that i have on my itunes. The only thing thats different then wat ur say is mine is by someone named Bobbie Gentry.

I’m right around your time, Jack: Dec. 1966 – Year of the Horse. But I'm still a very young '66 Stallion :mrgreen:

My song, "Winchester Cathedral" by The New Vaudeville Band.

Never heard of these f*ckers. :mrgreen:
