Jeannie C Riley Widow Jones Lyrics

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 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
