Mr. Harper (What do you want?)
I feel sorry for you (Oh yeah?)
'Cause I understand the reason you drink and think like you do
Mr. Harper, your woman is weak (Oh yeah?)
You can't hold up your head and walk down Harper Valley streets
ย
Mr. Harper, you're the richest man around (I know it)
It's your valley and you are the man who made it a town
Your young bride has been slippin' away (Oh yeah?)
It's the reason you drink and cannot face reality today
ย
Mr. Harper (Yeah, what do you want?)
She was too young for you (Oh yeah?)
But a man with your money will do what he's wantin' to do
Mr. Harper, where's your young bride tonight? (I don't know)
While you sit here in Kelly's Bar 'til they turn out the lights
