Jeannie C. Riley (born Jeanne Carolyn Stephenson, October 19, 1945) is an American country music and gospel singer. She is best known for her 1968 country and pop hit "Harper Valley PTA" (written by Tom T. Hall), which missed (by one week) becoming the Billboard Country and Pop number one hit at the same time. In subsequent years, she had moderate chart success with country music, but never again duplicated the success of "Harper Valley PTA".

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-why was a gogo girl a little while before she married Sam
He fell into the river Jones-why 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

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-why was a gogo girl...
Yeah the widow's got a lot friends at City Hall
