big harlan taylor

i once had a sweetheart the fairest of maidens

she outshined all others that i'd known by far

i had me a friend named big harlan taylor

harlan had a rubber tied new shiny car

all the ways of the world and the wants of a woman

if i figured them all up it could take many years

by the wants of a woman she fell for big harlan

i tried but in vain for to take my own life

suddenly i had lost all my will to keep living

she'd lost her desire to become my young wife

all the ways of the world. well i wanted revenge and we laid for big harlan

then i started wondering what good would it do

if a rubber tied new shiny car's her ambition

and i just let her hat and big harlan too

all the ways of the world. if i figured them all up it could take many years
