Lyrics

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 (What?) Your woman is weak (Oh, yeah?) You can't hold up your head And walk down Harper Valley streets Mr. Harper (Yeah?) 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 (Yeah?) Has been slipping away (Oh, really?) It's the reason you drink And cannot face reality today Mr. Harper (Now what do you want?) She was too young for you (Oh, yeah?) But a man with your money Will do what he's wanting to do Mr Harper (Yeah?) Where's your young bride tonight? (I don't know) While you sit here in Kеlly's Bar 'Til they turn out the lights
