You expect the French to get anything right?
It's the Joe Dassin version.

Here's my "quickie" analysis...
Billie Joe McAllister got the narrator pregnant...somehow she is able to keep this from her family (who are obviously too busy with chores and such to notice). When the baby is born, she and Billie Joe throw the baby (who might or might not have been stillborn) off the bridge.
Somehow the news of this gets to the narrator's father (the one who is asking to pass the biscuits and needs to plow "five more acres" that afternoon) who then proceeded to THROW Billie Joe McAllister off that same bridge himself.
So it was the father who killed Billie Joe in a rage of justice - Southern style, protecting the honor of his daughter. And now here they all are at the dinner table, acting as though what happened at the Tallahatchie Bridge has nothing much to do with them.
