Lonesome River Band - Harvest time

^GCool and cloudy n^Dights upon Boll^C Mountain, Ala^Gbama I was stealing corn from Ho^Dmer Lawson's fie^Gld ^GThe rattle of the^D cornstalks and^C the bark of H^Gomer's hound dog Made me hug the ground and ^Dlie dead still ^{G G}Flashing through ^Dmy mind was Big^C Homer's reput^Gation A man who real^Dly didn't give a^G damn ^GThey say he shot ^Dol' Mountain Jo^Ce for just one^G ear of corn And laughed th^De day they laid ^Ghim in the ground

^CWell, I can hear the breaking of the sti^Gcks From someone's footsteps ^GBut shaky legs just c^Dan't get up and ^Grun ^CAnd as I lay there breathless, the next ^Gthing I expected Was a b^Glast of hell from^D Homer Lawson'^Gs gun

^GThe clouds rolled^D by and then I ^Csaw the shadow^G of a lady It was Homer's lovely daugh^Dter Julie Ann ^{G G}I smelled the per^Dfume in her hai^Cr as she sat d^Gown beside me Whispered, "Papa's running ^Dmoonshine again"^G

I thank^C God for cloudy nights and ^GAlabama's whiskey stills And harv^Gest time in Homer^D Lawson's fiel^Gd I thank ^CGod for cloudy nights and A^Glabama's whiskey stills And har^Gvest time in Home^Dr Lawson's fie^Gld
