Jeannie C. Riley

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". She became a born-again Christian and began recording gospel music during the late 1970s. more »

 Struggling with Children? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Children go run and jump and play you'll be men and women some day
Then you'll have to leave your world of make believe now children
Young carefree children
Children need someone to understand children need someone to hold their hands yeah
To cheer you when you're sad to spank you when you're bad
Now children haughty naughty children

Ride goes before destruction the Holy Spirit goes before the fall
Don't you know that we're all children and it's all for one and one for all
Oh children call each other names children playing grown up games
And the thing that's really sad we lose the faith we had
When we were children loud proud children
Were children clowns proud children

Children who think that they are grown children with children of their own
From the cradle to the grave why must we all behave like children
Lost lonely children
