Big Harlan Taylor

l once had a sweetheart, the fairest of maidens



She out shined all others that I'd known by far



I had a friend, big fella, name of Big Harlan Taylor



Harlan had a rubber-tired new shiny car



Oh, the ways of the world and the wants of a woman



If l figured them all out it would 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 l had lost all my will to keep livin'



She'd lost her desire to become my young wife



Oh, the ways of the world and the wants of a woman



If l figured them all out it would take many years



Well, l wanted revenge and waylaid for Big Harlan



Then l started wondering what good would it do?



If a rubber-tired new shiny car's her ambition



Then I'll just let her have it and Big Harlan too



Oh, the ways of the world and the wants of a woman



If l figured them all out it would take many years



If l figured them all out it would take many years
