Jeannie C. Riley - Widow Jones lyrics

rate me

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 somethin' bout women you haven't known

You can attribute his knowledge of anatomy to widow Jones

Well Jones-y was a gogo 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

[ dobro ]

Well I don't bring her up because I think we should put her down

I just wanna shed some light on the truth in this town

These boys've learned things they couldn't've learned in our schools

And their parents can relax in knowin' that they're not all out in shootin' pool

Yeah Jones-y was a gogo girl...

Yeah the widow's got a lot friends at City Hall
