George Jones Big Harlan Taylor Lyrics

Big Harlan Taylor Lyrics

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
