Big Harlan Taylor

Oh, the ways of the world and the wants of a woman If I figured them all out it would take many years 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, named Big Harlan Taylor Harlan had a rubber-tired, new shiny car Oh, the ways of the world and the wants of a woman If I 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, I had lost all my will to keep livin' She had lost her desire to become my young wife Oh, the ways of the world and the wants of a woman If I figured them all out it would take many years I wanted revenge and waylaid for Big Harlan Then I started wonderin' what good would it do If a rubber-tired, new shiny car's her ambition Then she can just have it and Big Harlan, too Oh, the ways of the world and the wants of a woman If I figured them all out it would take many years If I figured them all out it would take many years
