Harvest Time

1 5 4 1
Cool and cloudy nights upon Boll Mountain, Alabama
5 1
I was stealing corn from Homer Lawson’s field
5 4 1
The rattle of the cornstalks and the bark of Homer’s hound dog
5 1
Made me hug the ground and lie dead still

Flashin’ through my mind was Big Homer’s reputation
A man who really didn’t give a damn
They say he shot ol’ Mountain Joe for just one ear of corn
And laughed the day they laid him in the ground

4 1
Well I can hear the breaking of the sticks from someone’s footsteps
5 1
But shaky legs just can’t get up and run
4 1
And as I lay there breathless the next thing I expected
5 1
Was a blast of hell from Homer Lawson’s gun

The clouds rolled by and then I saw the shadow of a lady
It was Homer’s lovely daughter Julie Ann
I smelled the perfume in her hair as she sat down beside me
Whispered Papa’s running moonshine again

I thank God for cloudy nights and Alabama’s whiskey stills
And harvest time in Homer Lawson’s field
I thank God for cloudy nights and Alabama’s whiskey stills
And harvest time in Homer Lawson’s field
