Harvest Time
Lonesome River Band
transcribed by Logan Gibbons
Capo 4
GDCG
1. Cool and cloudy nights upon Boll Mountain, Alabama
2. Flashing through my mind was Big Homer's reputation
4. The clouds rolled by and then I saw the shadow of a lady
DG
1. I was stealing corn from Homer Lawson's Field
2. A man who really didn't give a damn
4. It was Homer's lovely daughter Julie Ann
GDCG
1. The rattle of the cornstalks and the bark of Homer's hound dog
2. They say he shot ol' Mountain Joe for just one ear of corn
4. I smelled the perfume in her hair as she sat down beside me
DG
1. Made me hug the ground and lie dead still
2. And laughed the day they laid him in the ground
4. Whispered "Papa's running moonshine again"
CG
3. Well, I can hear the breaking of the sticks from someone's footsteps
5. I thank God for cloudy nights and Alabama's whiskey stills
GDG
3. But shaky legs just can't get up and run
5. And harvest time in Homer Lawson's field
CG
3. And as I lay there breathless, the next thing I expected
5. I thank God for cloudy nights and Alabama's whiskey stills
GDG
3. Was a blast of Hell from Homer Lawson's gun
5. And harvest time in Homer Lawson's field
