Текст (слова) песни «Big Harlan Taylor»

(spoken) l once had a sweetheart, the fairest of maidens
She outshined all others that l'd known by far
I had a friend, big fella, name of Big Harlan Taylor
Harlan had a rubber-tyred new shiny car

Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman
If l figured them all out, 'twould take many years

By the wants of a woman she fell for big Harlan
l 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, 'twould take many years

(spoken) Well l wanted revenge, and waylaid for big Harlan
Then l started wondering, what good would it do?
If a rubber-tyred new shiny car's her ambition
Then l'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, 'twould take many years
If l figured them all out, 'twould take many years
