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
