Harvest Time

Harvest Time Lonesome River Band transcribed by Logan Gibbons Capo 4 G D C G 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 D G 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 G D C G 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 D G 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" C G 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 G D G 3. But shaky legs just can't get up and run 5. And harvest time in Homer Lawson's field C G 3. And as I lay there breathless, the next thing I expected 5. I thank God for cloudy nights and Alabama's whiskey stills G D G 3. Was a blast of Hell from Homer Lawson's gun 5. And harvest time in Homer Lawson's field
