King Harvest

Corn in the fields

Listen to the rice and the wind blow across the water

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 would 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 come fall

Which I depend on most of all

Hey rainmaker, can you hear the call?

Please let these crops grow tall

Long enough I've been out on skid row

It's plain to see I got nothing to show

Oh, I got to pay those union dues, Lord

Just don't judge me by my shoes

Scarecrow, yellow moon

Pretty soon the carnival on the edge of town

King harvest has surely come

Last time this year wasn't no joke

My whole barn went up in smoke

Where our hoss Jethro, well he went mad

I can't ever remember things being that bad

Now comes the men with the paper and the pen

Telling us our hard times are about to end

And if we don't give 'em just what they like

Oh, that's when some are gonna go on strike

Corn in the fields

Listen to the rice and the wind blow across the water

King harvest has surely come

That's the wind song

That's the wind

That's the wind song
