The girl from Harper Valley, Miss Jeannie C.
Riley.
[A]
Thank you.
I want to tell you all a story about a Harper Valley widow
who had a [D] teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High.
Well, her [A] daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play.
And she [D] said, Mama, got a note here from [E] the Harper Valley PTA.
[A] Well, the note said, Mrs.
Johnson, you're wearing your dress is way too high.
[D] It's reported you've been drinking and running around with men and going wild.
[A] And we don't believe you ought to be bringing up your little girl this way.
[D] And it was signed by the [E] Secretary Harper Valley [A] PTA.
[F] [Bb] Well, it happened that PTA was going to meet that very afternoon.
[F] And they were sure surprised when Mrs.
[Eb] Johnson wore her mini skirt into the room.
[Bb] And as she walked up to the blackboard, I can still recall the words she had to say.
[Eb] She said, I'd like to address [F] this meeting of the Harper [Bb] Valley PTA.
[B] Well, Mr.
Harper could be here because he stayed too long at Kelly's bar again.
[E] And if you'll smell Shirley Thompson's bread, you'll find she's had a little dip of gin.
[B] And then you have nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit.
Well, [E] this is just a little patent [Gb] place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites.
[B] No, I wouldn't put you on because it really did, it happened just this way.
The day [E] my mama stopped you to [Gb] the Harper Valley PTA.
[B] The day [E] my mama stopped you to [Gb] the Harper Valley [B] PTA.
Thank [Bm] you and God bless you.
I love you.
[B] Thank you, Bill.
