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 hadn't known

You can attribute his knowledge of anatomy to widow Jones

 

[CHORUS] 

Well Jonesy was a go-go girl a little while before she married Sam

He fell into the river Jonesy 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

 

[REPEAT CHORUS]

 

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