King Harvest (has Surely Come) lyrics
Songwriters: Robertson, Robbie;

Corn in the fields
Listen to the rice when the wind blows cross 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 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 my call?
Please let these crops grow tall

Long enough I ve been up on skid row
And it s plain to see, I ve nothin 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 bein so bad

Then there comes a man with a paper and a pen
Tellin 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"

Corn in the fields
Listen to the rice when the wind blows cross the water
King harvest has surely come
