Justin Tubb - Big Harlan Taylor lyrics

rate me

(Roger Miller)

I once had a sweetheart the fairest of maidens

She upshined all others that I've 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 livin'

She'd lost her desire to become my young wife.

All the ways of the world

And the wants of a woman

If I figured them all up

It could take many years.

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

Then she can just had it and Big Harlan too.

All the ways of the world

And the wants of a woman

If I figured them all up

It could take many years...
