"Mr. Harper" 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 Kelly's Bar
'Til they turn out the lights
