Roger Miller - Big Harlan Taylor lyrics

I once had a sweetheart
The fairest of maidens
She outshined all others that
I'd 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 living
She'd lost her desire to become my young wife
All the ways of the world

Well 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
And I just let her hat and Big Harlan too
All the ways of the world
If I figured them all up
It could take many years
