Paroles de la chanson Big Harlan Taylor par
I ONCE HAD A SWEETHEART THE FAIREST OF MAIDENS
SHE OUTSHINED ALL OTHERS THAT I'D KNOWN, BY FAR
I HAD A FRIEND, A BIG FELLA NAMES BIG HARLAN TAYLOR
HARLAN HAD A RUBBER TIRED, NEW SHINEY CAR
OH, THE WAYS OF THE WORLD AND THE WANTS OF A WOMAN
IF I FIGURED THEM ALL OUT, 'TWOULD TAKE MANY YEARS
BY THE WANTS OF A WOMAN SHE FELL FOR BIG HARLNA
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 GO BECOME MY YOUNG WIFE
I WNATED REVENGE AND WAY-LAID FOF BIG HARLAN
THEN I STARTED WONDERING WHAT GOOD WOULD IT DO
IF A RUBBER-TIRED, NEW SHINEY CAR'S HER AMBITION
THEN SHE CAN JUST HAVE IT AND BIG HARLAN, TOO
