Big Harlan Taylor

I once had a sweetheart, the fairest of maidens She outshined all others that I'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, would 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 I 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, would take many years Well I wanted revenge, and waylaid for big harlan Then I started wondering, what good would it do? If a rubber-tyred 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 I figured them all out, would take many years If I figured them all out, would take many years --- Big Harlan Taylor - Roger Miller
