Album Harper Valley PTA. Widow Jones Lyrics. Ask any young man in this town who is over thirteen To tell you about the things and places he's seen If he tells you something bout women you haven't known You can attribute his knowledge of anatomy to widow Jones. Well Jones-y was a go-go girl A little while before she married Sam He fell into the river Jones-y said that's water over the dam. You say we oughta leave these matters To the good disgression of the law But when you have a shape like Widow Jones You have a lotta friends at City Hall.

CD - Sun Record Company. The album based on the title track is a fine recording that goes beyond the obvious attraction to the Tom T. Hall classic. It comes across nearly as a concept album that mirrors life in a small town in all its faults and tribulations, though not all songs make direct reference to Harper Valley. At the center of all this is the underrated voice of Jeannie C. Riley, which has the right combination of strength, sass, and vulnerability to make the songs come alive.
