Harvey Logan Lyrics

[00:16.56] People don't know, sit and I'll tell you so
[00:20.98] Down on the bowery where the rounders they all go
[00:24.96] Oh my babe, my woman babe
[00:30.95] Gambling for money, that money wouldn't come right
[00:34.94] They fooled around, got into a fight
[00:39.04] Oh my babe, my woman babe
[00:44.37]
[00:58.40] About that time, the cops were passin' along
[01:02.68] They stopped and they gazed, knew something was goin' on wrong
[01:06.44] Oh my babe, my woman babe
[01:12.39] They went in, intentioned to make arrest
[01:16.23] Knew Harvey was an outlaw from way out West
[01:20.18] Oh my babe, my woman babe
[01:25.24]
[01:40.01] Over his head, billies they did break
[01:44.16] Harvey gave them contents of a smokeless 38
[01:47.75] Oh my babe, my woman babe
[01:53.36] Arrested Harvey Logan, they put him in Knoxville jail
[01:57.02] Just because he was a stranger, no one would go his bail
[02:00.85] Oh my babe, my woman babe
[02:05.91]
[02:19.33] Harvey was in jail, the guard wasn't very far
[02:23.12] Threw a lasso over the jailer and pulled him to the bar
[02:27.14] Oh my babe, my woman babe
[02:32.60] Harvey said to the jailer "You know you done me wrong"
[02:36.50] "Hush up your cryin' and put that saddle on"
[02:39.51] Oh my babe, my woman babe
[02:45.05]
[02:58.22] Cross the bridge at midnight, the clock was striking twelve
[03:01.93] There stood his old Captain a-fixing to give him awful
[03:05.79] Oh my babe, my woman babe
[03:08.68]
