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 Kelly’s Bar
‘Til they turn out the lights
