Lyrics

The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley P.T.A.

According to the Harper Valley P.T.A. Songfacts, after driving past a school called Harpeth Valley Elementary School in Bellevue, Tennessee, Tom T. Hall noted the name and wrote Harper Valley P.T.A about a fictional confrontation between a young widow Stella Johnson and a local PTA group who objected to her manner of dress, social drinking & friendliness with town’s men folk. Jeannie C.Riley who was working as a secretary in Nashville for Jerry Chesnut got to hear the song and recorded it herself and it became a massive hit for her. View wiki
