King Harvest (Has Surely Come) (Remastered 2000)

[00:04.77]Corn in the fields

[00:07.46]Listen to the rice when the wind blows cross the water

[00:13.00]King harvest has surely come

I work for the union

cause she's so good to me

And I'm bound to come out on top

That's where she said I should be

I will hear every word the boss may say

For he's the one who hands me down my pay

Looks like this time I'm gonna get to stay

I'm a union man now all the way

The smell of the leaves

From the magnolia trees in the meadow

King harvest has surely come

Dry summer then comes fall

Which I depend on most of all

Hey rainmaker can't you hear the call

Please let these crops grow tall

Long enough I've been up on skid row

And it's plain to see I've nothing to show

I'm glad to pay those union dues

Just don't judge me by my shoes

Scarecrow and a yellow moon

And pretty soon a carnival on the edge of town

King harvest has surely come

Last year this time wasn't no joke

My whole barn went up in smoke

My horse jethro well he went mad

And I can't ever remember things being that bad

Then there comes a man with a paper and a pen

Telling us our hard times are about to end

And then if they don't give us what we like

He said men that's when you gotta go on strike
