Big Harlan Taylor
Roger Miller
[Intro] [Verse 1] I once had a sweetheart the fairest of maidens She outshined all others that I’d known by far I had me a friend big fella Named Big Harlan Taylor Harlan had a rubber tired new shiny car [Chorus] All the ways of the world and the wants of a woman If I figured them all up it could take many years [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] All the ways of the world and the wants of a woman If I figured them all up it could take many years [Verse 3] Well I wanted revenge and way laid for Big Harlan Then I started wondering what good would it do If a rubber tired new shiny car’s her ambition And I just let her have it and Big Harlan too [Chorus] All the ways of the world and the wants of a woman If I figured them all up it could take many years If I figured them all up ’twould take many years
