I love the lyrics to this song. So much mystery! There are at least ten different interpretations of this haunting song. I personally think it's a very strong statement about abortion. However, the movie's take on this song is about the stigma of being gay - not abortion.
What's your thoughts on the matter? At any rate, I sure do wish Bobbie Gentry had recorded more music. She had a genuine story teller's gift that is rarely found in popular music. And that voice!
