Several of my friends have birthdays on June 3.  I know that "Ode To
Billy Joe" by Bobbie Gentry starts with this lyric:  "It was the third
of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day.  I was out choppin' cotton
and my brother was balin' hay."  I know for certain that there is
another song that mentions "third of June" or "June third."  Can you
help me find this song?

Hello Katahdin,

The song Desiree by Neil Diamond has “third of June” in the lyrics.
Here is a part of the lyrics:

“It was the third of June
On that younger day
Well I became a man
At the hands of a girl
Almost twice my age
And she came to me
Just like a morning sun
And it wasn't so much
Her words as such
As the way they were sung
It was the way they were sung
Desiree
Oh, Desiree”

Another song that mentions June third is the song “Third of June” by
Corey Hart. Here is a part of the lyrics:

“Oh, dance with me
Under a bright moon
Third of June

Then I see the virgin beauty of your eye
Calling me 
I'm so haunted by 
this sacred air we breathe

Oh, dance with me
Under a bright moon
Third of June”

Thank you so very, very much!  I may have found another one:  Jazz
artist Bob Howard had a song called "On The Night of June The Third"
in 1935.  Cannot locate the lyrics, though.  Katahdin333
