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
