      Remember the song as a little girl my mum bought the single , then the show with Barbara Eden. Anybody here in 2019 for the Ken Burns PBS documentary? 😁🇨🇦🇯🇲 ? Great music no matter the genre crosses all cultures or wherever you come from. 😃👍

    I grew up in the Netherlands, born in 1963. They played this song regularly on the radio as I grew up. Not speaking English as a kid I had no clue what it was about but I knew she was pissed off by the tonation of her voice. I moved to the US in 1990 but never heard that song again until I was driving around in Tallahassee a few weeks ago. I recognized this song from my childhood and listened carefully to the text. She sure was pissed off about something, the Harper Valley PTA! They don’t write songs like that anymore.

      Generally I don't like Country & Western. This is a great song but if they could get rid of that country guitar style in the original it would have been a far better recording. The original even had an organ in the backup. I do love the way the song picks up tempo as it goes along.

      I went to school in the 70's also, and I only had one kid in my whole class who lived with only his mother. My mother when she came to school functions or would pick me up and she would see him would whisper to me in a hush tone, "Is he the one without a father?" Funny, how times change, now half the class of kids, come from broken homes and it's normal.

Boy, no one understood that; rumor mill started that they were lesbians. As a young girl that was hard to understand. I lost friends over that. Her best friend ended up moving out years later to get married. But no one ever apologized for thinking otherwise. Remember the sitcom Kate and Allie?

    This is pop/country for it's time. Very catchy, great song and well performed. This embodies Country Music Genre more then 95% of what is called "Country" music today. Country had a style and sound all it's own. Not sure why country music is so bad now. There is a wealth of music to emulate. Great tune...Thanks!

    This song is a classic song that truly belongs to the beautiful singer Jeannie C. Riley. This song was recorded in 1969, 9 years before I was born in 1978. I love this song! It is fun! Thak you for posting this classic song and performance!

    I was in junior high (known as middle school today) in Napa CA when this song was popular on the country charts. A new student from the Midwest lip synced it at our first rally and we were so embarrassed for her since nobody listened to this “square, hick” music. Complete silence when her performance was over. I think back about that girl now and understand what an amazing brave person she had to have been

      In high school
      Down the road a piece
      Our Government Teacher
      Was a long haired hippy freak
      Who
      Played bass for a Skynyrd tribute band.
      We use to mess with him
      cause
      He used a pick.
      So my buddy Shropshire, and I
      Taught him how to pluck, and slap the bass.
      I guess we were a little more
      Tolerant in TheV.

      Well, there was a lot of boring ooze put out by commercial music factories back then too. The songs that are still memorable are few by comparison. I agree with you, though, that over-technologization has been really bad for pop music. Even well-written songs have the life sucked out of them by being run through autotune, fitted to the beat grid, and digitally processed to homogeneity. The human presence is the breath of a song, that's what we listen for in great music.
