Where is or what is a "Pilahatchee Bridge"? |
Where is or what is a "Pilahatchee Bridge"? I'm assuming you heard this in the Leanne Rimes song "Nothin' Better To Do". If so then the Pelahatchie she sings about is a small town located in central Mississippi. Do you mean the Tallahatchee bridge that Billy Joe McAllister jumped off?? I know it is in the south, maybe Mississippi, Tennessee?? Tallahatchee Bridge...a song from the seventies followed by a movie staring Robbie Benson. Bad movie and a great ballad. Like your first two respondents, I immediately wondered if you weren't thinking of "Talahachee" (sp?) Bridge which is the bridge in a song where some young man supposedly jumps off. But then, maybe there is a "Pilahatchee" Bridge, wherein I have no clue at all as to what it is. God Bless you. Pilahatchee Bridge is in Mississippi--in a song by LeeAnn Rimes. The song was called "ODE TO BILLY JOE".... bt Bobbi Gentry.... FICTIONAL SONG...it INFERRED that Billy Joe might have tossed a BABY off the Tallahatchee Bridge ----The Talahatchee River flows from Tippah County Mississippi to Leflore County Mississippi----another song by the Staple Singers (Freedom Highway) also mentions the Talahatchee River.... A black man named Till was brutally murdered and sunk in that river many years back (the historical significance of that river).... thhere are both the pilahatchee bridge and talahatchee ,both are in ole miss,i believe one is in talahatchee county and the other in hinds or copiah. Its "Tallahatchie Bridge" and maybe its just made up. Who ever said it was a real place anyway? I dont know if it is, but I'm gonna say its probably in Chickasaw County, Mississippi, since the writer/singer of the song Bobbie Gentry, comes from there. And shes talking about the delta so I'm going with that! |
