Dock Boggs - Harvey Logan lyrics

Artist: Dock Boggs

album: His Folkways Years, 1963-1968


People don't know, sit and I'll tell you so
Down on the bowery where the rounders they all go
Oh my babe, my woman babe
Gambling for money, that money wouldn't come right
They fooled around, got into a fight
Oh my babe, my woman babe
About that time, the cops were passin' along
They stopped and they gazed, knew something was goin' on wrong
Oh my babe, my woman babe
They went in, intentioned to make arrest
Knew Harvey was an outlaw from way out West
Oh my babe, my woman babe
Over his head, billies they did break
Harvey gave them contents of a smokeless 38
Oh my babe, my woman babe
Arrested Harvey Logan, they put him in Knoxville jail
Just because he was a stranger, no one would go his bail
Oh my babe, my woman babe
Harvey was in jail, the guard wasn't very far
Threw a lasso over the jailer and pulled him to the bar
Oh my babe, my woman babe
Harvey said to the jailer "You know you done me wrong"
"Hush up your cryin' and put that saddle on"
Oh my babe, my woman babe
Cross the bridge at midnight, the clock was striking twelve
There stood his old Captain a-fixing to give him awful
Oh my babe, my woman babe
